It is born in the early larva and extends a neurite to the contralateral hemisphere during the larval stage, but does not enter the developing optic lobe until the late larval stage (Hassan et al., 2000; Zheng et al., 2006; Langen et al., 2013). Initially, all the contralateral axons extend into the medulla, but most retract back to the lobula prior to eclosion, leaving around one third of these neurons innervating the medulla (Langen et al., 2013). There are approximately 22-68 of these cells per hemisphere, with no correlation between the number of medulla-targeting cells and total number, or the number of cells in each hemisphere in the same organism (Langen et al., 2013; Linneweber et al., 2020). immature DCN immature secondary neuron immature lobula columnar neuron lobula columnar neuron LC14
