| Term |
adult thermosensory neuron Ir21a VP1l |
ID (Ontology) |
FBbt:00111336 (Fly Anatomy) |
| Definition |
Thermosensory receptor neuron that expresses the Ionotropic receptor (Ir) 21a and innervates antennal lobe glomerulus VP1l (Marin et al., 2020; Alpert et al., 2020). It has its sensory dendrite in chamber I of the sacculus and it responds to temperature drops below 25 degrees celsius (Marin et al., 2020; Alpert et al., 2020). It develops from an Naa precursor (Benton et al., 2025). There are around 6-8 of these cells per hemisphere (Marin et al., 2020) and they are unilateral (Schlegel et al., 2021).[ FlyBase:FBrf0215822 FlyBase:FBrf0246007 FlyBase:FBrf0246456 FlyBase:FBrf0249560 FlyBase:FBrf0262710 ] |
| Also Known As |
"HRN_VP1l" ; "ionotropic receptor neuron Ir21a" ; "Ir21a" (for all, see Synonyms field below) |
| Comment |
Ir21a neuron of sacculus in original reference was speculatively assigned to sacculus chamber III and VP3 (Silbering et al., 2011). Later found to be chamber I and VP1l (Marin et al., 2020 and refs therein). Assigned to 'cold glomerulus' in Alpert et al. (2020) - FBrf0246007, but projections in AL look like VP1l projections shown in Marin et al. (2020). |
