multi-claw Kenyon cell [FBbt_00047994]
Mature Kenyon cell that receives input from multiple projection neurons via claw-like dendritic branches that wrap around the projection neuron. In the first instar larva this appears to be limited to six input neurons (Eichler et al., 2017). In the adult, each Kenyon cell has an average of six claws (Li et al., 2020).
