(2025). VFB:FBbt_20001530 LoVC18 PLP030 cL16 Adult visual centrifugal neuron with its soma lateral to the wedge (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). The ipsilateral lobula is its main input and output region (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It also receives input in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum, superior posterior slope, anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum, and inferior clamp (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It sends multiple branches into the proximal lobula, spanning over 100 columns in layers 5 and 6 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is dopamine (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 1-2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). fly_anatomy.ontology FBbt:20001530 adult posterior lateral protocerebrum neuron 030
