Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements. Adult lobula plate tangential neuron of the LPT59 group (Nern et al., 2025). It receives input in the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, posterior lateral protocerebrum, wedge, superior posterior slope, inferior posterior slope and cantle, the contralateral lobula plate layer 2, lobula plate layer 3, lobula plate layer 4, posterior lateral protocerebrum and superior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion, inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center, posterior lateral protocerebrum, wedge, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, the contralateral lobula plate layer 2, lobula plate layer 3, lobula plate layer 4, posterior lateral protocerebrum and superior posterior slope, and the inferior bridge and saddle (Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). bilateral
