(2025). LPT57 fly_anatomy.ontology LPT57 Adult visual centrifugal lobula plate tangential neuron with presynapses spanning around 50 columns of contralateral lobula plate layers 2-3 and 4 (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). In the central brain, it receives input mainly from the ipsilateral inferior 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).
