It receives input in the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, posterior lateral protocerebrum and lobula layer 5B, and the contralateral anterior optic tubercle and lobula layer 6 (Nern et al., 2025). It sends output to the ipsilateral lobula layer 6, and the contralateral anterior optic tubercle and lobula layer 6 (Nern et al., 2025). Its predicted neurotransmitter is glutamate (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025). Cell type identified in multiple EM datasets and at light level (Schlegel et al., 2024; Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). Synapse locations are given where each cell of this type in neuprint has at least 10 connections. Other information from Nern et al. (2025) supplements. LT55 bilateral
