PLP179 Adult lobula plate tangential neuron with its soma posterior to the posterior lateral protocerebrum (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its main input region is the medulla, where it has a large tangential arbor, spanning over 100 columns across layer M8 (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Its main output region is tha lobula plate, where it arborizes mainly in layer 1, across nearly 100 columns (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It also has presynapses in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, remaining ipsilateral (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald 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). adult posterior lateral protocerebrum neuron 179 FBbt:20001679 LPT54 VFB:FBbt_20001679 unilateral
