bCS [FBbt_00049572]
Mechanosensory neuron that relays input from a campaniform sensillum in the leg to multiple contralateral and ipsilateral thoracic neuromeres (Phelps et al., 2021). There are two of these neurons per leg and they have the largest diameter of any leg sensory neurons (Phelps et al., 2021). In the ventral nerve cord, they synapse directly onto a subset of leg motor neurons at their primary neurites or short second order branches (Phelps et al., 2021).
