horizontal system neuron [FBbt_00003917]
Giant neuron whose arbor fans out widely over the dorsal, central or ventral part of lobula plate layer 1. The dendritic arborization in the lobula plate is flattened in the anterior-posterior axis, and the axon extends medially and ventrally to innervate the adult protocerebrum (Scott et al., 2002). It is involved in the optomotor response (Heisenberg et al., 1978) (Schnell et al., 2010) and respond to horizontal motion with graded membrane potential changes in a directional-selective way (Schnell et al., 2010). Due to their morphology and functional similarity, these cells are judged to be homologous to the three horizontal system cells in larger flies (Heisenberg et al., 1978; Rajashekhar and Shamprasad, 2004; Scott et al., 2002). The presynaptic terminals in the protocerebral region were identified by the presence of a subunit of the GABA receptor (Rdl) in horizontal system cells labelled with the P{GAL4}3A driver [FBti0131277]. The postsynaptic terminals in the protocerebral region were labelled with P{UAS-n-syb.mRed} [FBtp0055749] driven by the P{GAL4}3A driver [FBti0131277] (Raghu et al., 2007).
