It expresses the transcription factor ato (Hassan et al., 2000; Ozel et al., 2021). It projects from the ipsilateral lobula, along the great commissure and contacts the surface of the contralateral lobula, but does not penetrate into any of its layers (Otsuna and Ito, 2006). Ipsilaterally, all of these neurons form dense, dendrite-like branches that remain in the lobula, but different subtypes have axonal projections reaching only the contralateral lobula or extending to the medulla (Srahna et al., 2006; Langen et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2016). There are approximately 22-68 of these cells per hemisphere and the level of asymmetry between the populations of these neurons in each hemisphere can influence walking behavior (Linneweber et al., 2020).
