We analyzed synaptic connectivity within the clock network, focusing on the critical lateral neuron (LN) clock neuron classes within the Janelia hemibrain. Our results reveal that previously identified anatomical and functional subclasses of LNs represent distinct connectomic types. Moreover, we identify a small number of non-clock cell subtypes representing highly synaptically coupled nodes within the clock neuron network.
