It is a putative embryonic-born neuron (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral, receiving input in the anterior and posterior ventrolateral protocerebrum and sending output to the lobula (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024). Its axon travels around the posterior of the lobula and branches on the distal side, to enter the distal lobula in multiple places, arborizing mainly in layer 2 in over 200 columns (Nern et al., 2025). There are approximately 2 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). fly_anatomy.ontology PVLP132 cL21 Cell type based on Hemibrain data (Scheffer et al., 2020) updated using FlyWire (FAFB) data (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024), matched across datasets and identified at light level by Nern et al.
