ventral cibarial sense organ neuron of middle sensillum [FBbt_00100159]
ventral cibarial sense organ neuron of middle sensillum
ID: FBbt_00100159
Gustatory receptor neuron that innervates the middle sensillum of the ventral cibarial sense organ of the adult pharynx. There are two of these per sensillum. (Nayak and Singh, 1983, Stocker, 1994, Gendre et al., 2004)
Nayak & Singh (1983) claim the ventral cibarial sense organ is composed of two sensilla: the ventral and the dorsal sensilla. In contrast, Montell (2009), Vosshall & Stocker (2007), and Stocker & Schorderet (1981) report three sensilla: the proximal, the middle and the distal sensilla. This is shown via enhancer trap activity in Gendre et al., 1994. Similarly, the number of chemosensory neurons varies: both Nayak & Singh (1983), and Stocker, 1994 report 6, whilst Gendre et al. (1994), Montell (2009), and Vosshall & Stocker (2007) report 8.
