adult pheromone-sensing neuron of leg [FBbt_00052294]
Gustatory neuron of the leg that detects pheromones (Thistle et al., 2012. It expresses ppk23, which is necessary, but not sufficient, for pheromone detection (Thistle et al., 2012. In each bristle where these cells are found, generally one cell will respond to male pheromones and a second will respond to female pheromones (Thistle et al., 2012; Kallman et al., 2015. (Thistle et al., 2012, Kallman et al., 2015, Toda et al., 2012)
