(2012) is LC11 from Otsuna and Ito (2006). LC11 Lobula columnar neuron whose cell body lies in the dorsal area of the lateral cell body rind (Wu et al., 2016). It has its main dendritic arbors in layers 2, 3, 4 and 5B (Wu et al., 2016; Keles and Frye, 2017), with most synapses concentrated around the layer 2/3 boundary (Tanaka and Clark, 2022). Its terminals in layer 5 are from recurrent branches and also contain presynaptic sites (Wu et al., 2016; Keles and Frye, 2017). It spans approximately 65-85 lobula columns in an ellipse and there is overlap between the columns innervated by each neuron (Wu et al., 2016; Keles and Frye, 2017). It projects to an elongated optic glomerulus in the posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, located in an intermediate position between the dorsal LC6 and the ventral LC4 glomeruli (Wu et al., 2016). Its terminals are distributed throughout the LC11 glomerulus showing no retinotopic organization (Keles and Frye, 2017). It responds to small moving objects (Keles and Frye, 2017). There are around 50-70 cells of this type (Wu et al., 2016; Keles and Frye, 2017).
