Tlp4 [FBbt_00003894]

Translobula plate neuron that receives input mainly in around 30 columns of lobula plate layer 3, spreading into layer 2 (Nern et al., 2025). There are also a smaller number of presynapses in lobula plate layers 2-3 (Nern et al., 2025). In the lobula, it has pre- and post-synapses mainly in layers 4-5A, in around 5 columns (Nern et al., 2025). Some of these cells have a branch that enters the medulla (Matsliah et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2025). It is predicted to be glutamatergic (Eckstein et al., 2024; Nern et al., 2024). There are around 40-60 of these cells per hemisphere (Nern et al., 2025).

Medulla-arborizing cells have similar morphology to Y11, but similar connectivity to other Tlp4 (Matsliah et al., 2024).
