Its cell body is found next to the lobula plate and its cell body fiber enters the lobula plate from the posterior side (Shinomiya et al., 2019). It branches into columnar fibers that arborize in lobula plate layer 2 (Shinomiya et al., 2019). These fibers bifurcate, projecting via the second optic chiasma to innervate lobula layer 2 and medulla layers 8-9 (Shinomiya et al., 2019). It only innervates the posterior columns of the medulla and some of its fibers terminate and make synapses within the second optic chiasma (Shinomiya et al., 2019). fly_anatomy.ontology FBbt:00052538 VFB:FBbt_00052538
