General Information
Term mechanosensory neuron of terminal organ dorsolateral group ID (Ontology) FBbt:00048359 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Mechanosensory neuron with a dendrite in the terminal organ on the surface of the larval head, but whose soma is located in the dorsal organ ganglion (Rist and Thum, 2017). There are 2 of these neurons, one innervating the dorsolateral papilla and one innervating the spot sensillum, and they project via the antennal nerve (Rist and Thum, 2017).[ FlyBase:FBrf0236934 ]
Comment Thought to be mechanosensory based on the presence of a tubular body (Rist and Thum, 2017).
