It follows the Bolwig nerve and terminates in the intermediate larval optic neuropil, where it outputs mainly onto visual projection interneurons (Larderet et al., 2017). Some neurites bypass the larval optic neuropil and project to the adjacent ipsilateral central brain (Keene et al., 2011). It is involved in light-avoidance behavior (Keene et al., 2011). It changes its Rhodopsin expression and becomes an eyelet photoreceptor cell during pupal development (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022). There are four of these cells per Bolwig organ (Hartenstein et al., 2019; Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022). Their somas are clustered posteroventral to those of the Rh6 photoreceptors (Hartenstein et al., 2019). fly_anatomy.ontology Rh5-expressing photoreceptor of Bolwig's organ Bolwig organ Rh5-PRC VFB:FBbt_00100100 FBbt:00100100 Neurotransmitter type was assessed in two ways: by double labelling of cells with an acetylcholine GAL4 driver (FBtp0014830) and a Rh5 antibody; by double labelling cells with drivers for Rh5 (FBtp0013993) and an acetylcholine antibody (Keene et al., 2011).
