It receives input in the ipsilateral medulla layer M6, medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2 and inferior posterior slope, the contralateral lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral medulla serpentine layer, medulla layer M8, medulla layer M9, lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2 and inferior posterior slope, the contralateral lobula layer 1, lobula layer 2, superior posterior slope and inferior posterior slope, and the gnathal ganglion (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). FBbt:20007656 Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). 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. fly_anatomy.ontology bilateral
