Nod4 [FBbt_00053415]

Lobula plate tangential neuron of the noduli group that receives input in the posterior part of the lobula plate layer 2 visual field, spanning around 200 columns (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). It also receives input in the ipsilateral posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It sends output to the contralateral inferior posterior slope, lateral accessory lobe and posterior lateral protocerebrum (Dorkenwald et al., 2024; Schlegel et al., 2024). It is predicted to be cholinergic (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Zhao et al., 2023; Nern et al., 2025).
