Adult neuron that has a large cluster of dendrites in the antennal mechanosensory and motor center and a commissural projection in the superior brain (Guo et al., 2022). It receives substantial input from Johnston organ neurons and makes substantial inhibitory (glutamatergic) connections to DNg11 (Guo et al., 2022). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Guo et al., 2022).
Any mechanosensory neuron of cercal bristle (FBbt:00052235) that expresses fru (FBgn0004652).
Any mechanosensory neuron of epandrial ventral lobe bristle (FBbt:00052233) that expresses fru (FBgn0004652).
Fruitless-expressing neuron that innervates a sensillum of the male terminalia. Neurons of this type can be found innervating (at least) the epandrial ventral lobe bristles, the cercal bristles, and the surstylar teeth (Jois et al., 2022).
Any mechanosensory neuron of surstylar tooth (FBbt:00052234) that expresses fru (FBgn0004652).
Any mechanosensory neuron (FBbt:00005919) that has sensory dendrite in some head bristle (FBbt:00004115).
Mechanosensory neuron that innervates a cercal bristle. A small majority of these express fruitless (Jois et al., 2022).
Mechanosensory neuron that innervates an epandrial ventral lobe bristle. Approximately half of these express fruitless (Jois et al., 2022).
Any mechanosensory neuron (FBbt:00005919) that has sensory dendrite in some male terminalia sensillum (FBbt:00004469).
Mechanosensory neuron that innervates a surstylar tooth. A small majority of these express fruitless (Jois et al., 2022).
