ORN_VA6 [FBbt_00067044]

Adult olfactory receptor neuron (ORN) that expresses Or82a (Benton et al., 2025). Its dendrite transduces signals from antennal basiconic sensillum ab5 and it responds to geranyl acetate (Benton et al., 2025). It innervates antennal lobe glomerulus VA6, bilaterally, fasciculating with the antennal lobe commissure (Kaur et al., 2019). It expresses sNPF (Carlsson et al., 2010). It develops from an Nab precursor (Benton et al., 2025). There are approximately 30 of these on each side (Grabe et al., 2016; Benton et al., 2025).
