Dendrites also extend into all other lobula plate layers (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output mainly to the contralateral inferior posterior slope (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). Nod5 adult cholinergic neuron
