Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its dendrites spanning around 150 columns of the anterior part of the visual field in lobula plate layer 3, with some input also in layer 4 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and sends output to the inferior and superior posterior slope (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). 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).
