ORN_VA7m [FBbt_00048139]

Adult olfactory receptor neuron that expresses Or46aB (Benton et al., 2025). It has its sensory dendrite in an antennal ab6 sensillum and responds to methylphenols (Benton et al., 2025). It sends output to antennal lobe glomerulus VA7m, bilaterally (Benton et al., 2025). It develops from an Nab precursor (Benton et al., 2025). There are approximately 8-11 of these cells on each side (Benton et al., 2025).
