crop-innervating enteric motor neuron [FBbt_00053575]
Glutamatergic motor neuron with its soma in the brain that extends a process along the esophagus and innervates the entry segments of the crop duct (Cui et al., 2024). Its activity closes the crop duct and it is inhibited during ingestion of sucrose (Cui et al., 2024). It is not sexually dimorphic (Cui et al., 2024).
