Adult Gustatory system Nervous system Sensory neuron
Male-specific gustatory receptor neuron of the prothoracic leg that expresses ppk23 and fruitless (Thistle et al., 2012; Toda et al., 2012. It detects pheromones and is involved in stimulating male courtship of females and inhibiting courtship of males (Thistle et al., 2012; Toda et al., 2012. There are approximately 32 of these cells on each side (Toda et al., 2012. (Thistle et al., 2012, Toda et al., 2012)
No fru/ppk23 cells in T2 or T3 legs (Toda et al., 2012 or proboscis (Thistle et al., 2012 or female T1 legs (Toda et al., 2012. Includes some cells that detect female pheromones (Toda et al., 2012 and some that detect male pheromones (Zhang et al., 2022 - FBrf0252940).
