Adult Mechanosensory system Nervous system Sensory neuron
A mechanosensory neuron found in the adult hypocerebral ganglion. There are approximately 6 of these neurons in the hypocerebral ganglion. They express the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo and innervate the anterior midgut and the crop. They respond to crop-distending stimuli and control feeding behavior. Their ascending axons contribute to the recurrent nerve (Min et al., 2021. (Min et al., 2021)
