high salt/bitter-sensing neuron
ID: FBbt_00100044
A gustatory receptor neuron that is responsive to high concentrations of salt or to bitter compounds, or both (Meunier et al., 2003; Montell, 2009. It triggers an aversive behavior (Freeman and Dahanukar, 2015. (Meunier et al., 2003, Montell, 2009, Freeman and Dahanukar, 2015)
The projection of L2 GRNs (bitter-sensitive) of the labellum to the subesophageal zone, and of leg gustatory sensilla to the central brain are segregated from the projections of S cells (sugar-sensitive) to the thoracic ganglion (Wang et al., 2004).
