It has its denser dendritic arbors in the boundary between lobula layers 2/3, where most of its synapses are found, and some diffuse branches near 3/4 and 5B (Wu et al., 2016; Tanaka and Clark, 2022). Its arbors span approximately 30 optic columns, overlapping with other LC17 cells (Wu et al., 2016). It projects to the most lateral of the ventral optic glomeruli of the PVLP (Wu et al., 2016). There are around 181 cells of this type (Wu et al., 2016). Pre- versus postsynaptic innervation assessed with a presynaptic marker (synaptotagmin-HA driver) (Wu et al., 2016).
