General Information
Term mechanosensory neuron of prothoracic coxal hair plate CoHP8 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00058084 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Mechanosensory neuron with a dendrite in the hair plate of prothoracic coxa CoHP8. Its axonal projection enters the VNC through the ventral prothoracic nerve (Kuan et al., 2020). It detects leg movements associated with low-viscosity food and is required for the enhancement of the proboscis extension reflex in response to yeast odors in combination with low-viscosity food (Oh et al., 2021).[ FlyBase:FBrf0247324 FlyBase:FBrf0248109 ]
Also Known As "CxHP8 MN"
Comment CoHP8 neurons appear to only exist in the prothoracic leg, based on split-GAL4 expression (Oh et al., 2021).
