Altogether, based on the results obtained using both the GRASP technique and the dye/photo-labeling technique, we conclude that LOPN is a true input 265 neuron of the a/bp Kenyon cells and that it conveys information from the lobula, a visual processing center, to the dorsal accessory calyx. To identify the neurons that project to the post-synaptic terminals formed by the PLPPNs in the posterior lateral protocerebrum, a poorly characterized visual processing center, we used the targeted photo-labeling technique described above ( Figure 8A ). Our results suggest that the LOPN and PLPPNs that we identified in our screen connect to the a/bp Kenyon cells and that, together, these two types of projection neuron represent a large fraction of the input neurons of the dorsal accessory calyx. ./cache/cord-102184-8u73adnk.txt ./txt/cord-102184-8u73adnk.txt
