TPN1 [FBbt_00049529]
Adult taste projection neuron with its cell body in the metathoracic neuromere, dendrites in all three contralateral leg neuropil regions, and axons that project to the subesophageal zone (Kim et al., 2017). It receives input from sugar-sensing (Gr5a-expressing) neurons in the leg neuropil, it is activated in response to sweet stimulation of the legs and it promotes proboscis extension (Kim et al., 2017). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Kim et al., 2017).
