General Information
Term high salt/bitter-sensing neuron ID (Ontology) FBbt:00100044 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition A gustatory receptor neuron that is responsive to high concentrations of salt or to bitter compounds, or both (Meunier et al., 2003; Montell, 2009). It triggers an aversive behavior (Freeman and Dahanukar, 2015).[ FlyBase:FBrf0160792 FlyBase:FBrf0208984 FlyBase:FBrf0229608 ]
Comment The projection of L2 GRNs (bitter-sensitive) of the labellum to the subesophageal zone, and of leg gustatory sensilla to the central brain are segregated from the projections of S cells (sugar-sensitive) to the thoracic ganglion (Wang et al., 2004).
