VP PNs Relay Information to Diverse Targets, Including a Descending Neuron
(A–F) Frontal views of selected strong downstream targets of RHS and bilaterally symmetric VP PNs, with brain neuropils color coded as in Figure 2C. Reconstructed neurons in black, with presynaptic sites in red and postsynaptic sites in cyan. (A) Seventeen strong downstream targets of VP PNs. (B) Local LH neuron LHPV6g1#1. (C) VM1++ l2PN. (D) VP1m++ smPN∗. (E) LH and SEZ interneuron LHPV10c1#1. (F) Descending neuron DNp44.
(G) Heatmap showing contributions by VP PN classes to 17 downstream targets, normalized with total VP PN input = 1. Cell numbers denote raw connectivity. Heatmap is thresholded >2 synapses. Source labels are color coded by top glomerulus. See also Table S3.
(H) Summary stacked bar graph showing proportion of inputs from VP, VP + SEZ, gustatory, olfactory, and visual PNs, and lACA target neurons onto each of the 17 targets, normalized with total identified inputs = 1. Total inputs and total identified inputs are shown on the right. For both (G) and (H), only the dendrites of VM1++ l2PN and KCγ-s2R and the axon of VP1m++ smPN were considered. See also Table S3.
