General Information
Term adult mechanosensory neuron of the hypocerebral ganglion ID (Ontology) FBbt:00058026 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A mechanosensory neuron found in the adult hypocerebral ganglion. There are approximately 6 of these neurons in the hypocerebral ganglion. They express the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo and innervate the anterior midgut and the crop. They respond to crop-distending stimuli and control feeding behavior. Their ascending axons contribute to the recurrent nerve (Min et al., 2021).[ FlyBase:FBrf0248237 ]
