Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Hemilineage information from neuprint, though original source not clear. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements. Adult visual centrifugal neuron of the OLVC5 group (Nern et al., 2025). It belongs to the LALv1 ventral hemilineage (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, lobula layer 4, lobula plate layer 4, antennal mechanosensory and motor center, lobula layer 6, gorget, epaulette, vest, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, anterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, gall, wedge, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, cantle, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, the contralateral gorget, vest, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lateral accessory lobe, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, lobula layer 4, lobula plate layer 4, lobula layer 6, posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, posterior lateral protocerebrum, inferior clamp, wedge, crepine, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope, lobula layer 5A and lobula layer 5B, and the gnathal ganglion and inferior bridge (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).
