It also has a smaller presynapses in layer 2 (Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it remains ipsilateral and arborizes in the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). Its predicted neurotransmitter is acetylcholine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are three of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). Cell type based on FAFB and optic lobe EM data (Zhao et al., 2023; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025) and identified at light level by Nern et al. (2025). adult cholinergic neuron unilateral
