FeCO [FBbt_00048051]

Mechanosensory neuron that innervates a scolopidium of a femoral chordotonal organ. Each scolopidium is innervated by two such neurons (Shanbhag et al., 1992; Kuan et al., 2020. There are around 135 per leg and they project through the leg nerve to the ventral nerve cord, with a small minority (3-4) continuing to the brain (Mamiya et al., 2018; Phelps et al., 2021. They are cholinergic proprioceptive sensory neurons (Mamiya et al., 2018; Agrawal et al., 2020. (Tsubouchi et al., 2017, Tuthill and Wilson, 2016, Agrawal et al., 2020, Phelps et al., 2021, Kuan et al., 2020, Mamiya et al., 2018, Shanbhag et al., 1992)
