(
A) Atypical MBON24 (β2γ5) is shown here and in
Figure 8—video 3. Presynaptic sites are shown in yellow and postsynaptic sites are shown in gray. MBON24 receives 75% of its inputs from sites within the MB lobes and 90% of these inputs are in the β2 compartment. (
B) A pie chart showing the distribution of MBON24’s presynaptic sites (indicated in orange) and postsynaptic sites (in blue). The inner circle shows the total number of MBON24’s pre- and postsynaptic sites. The outer circle of the pie chart shows the brain regions in which these sites occur; regions of the MB are shown in lighter colors. (
C) MBON24’s top 10 inputs (left) and outputs (right) outside the MB lobes are shown by neuron type as bar charts. The numbers in each row represent synapse numbers and the brain regions in which these synapses occur are color-coded. (Left) T he numbers next to each row indicate the percentage of that neuron’s synaptic output that goes to MBON24. Links to these cell types in neuPrint are:

MBON22,
LHCENT8,
MBON30,

MBON12,
LHPV5e1,
MBON13,
MBON23, and
SMP146. Note that four of MBON24’s top input neurons are typical MBONs (indicated by bold text). (Right) T he numbers next to each row indicate the fraction of that neuron's input that is provided by MBON24. Links to these cell types in neuPrint are:
LHAV6a9,
CRE050,
LHCENT2,
482071823,
LHCENT1,
SLP113,
LHAD1b5,
CRE098,
544107341, and
SIP019. Neuron names in colored text indicate neurons further discussed in panel D and are color-coded to match the diagrams in panel D. (
D) Two of the top inputs to MBON24, and MBON24’s reciprocal connections back to them, are shown. These cells send processes outside of the hemibrain volume, presumably to the subesophageal zone (SEZ), as has been confirmed for the more strongly connected of the two (482071823) by reconstructing its counterpart in the FAFB volume (
Figure 35C,E). The same two neurons also provide strong input to a PPL106, contributing more than 0.5% of its total input, and are part of cluster 27 of DAN inputs shown in
Figure 31. These SEZ cells also receive strong input from MBON14 (387 synapses). The size of the MBON24 circle indicates the percent of its total output (based on synapse number) that goes to PPL106 and SEZ neurons; while the sizes of the circles of the SEZ neurons and PPL106 reflect the percentage of that cell's input that comes from MBON24.
