femoral chordotonal claw neuron
ID: FBbt_00049557
Femoral chordotonal organ (FeCO) neuron with a projection that splits into three branches upon entering the ventral nerve cord, giving it a claw-like morphology (Phillis et al., 1996; Mamiya et al., 2018. One branch follows the direction of the club neurons medially, another projects dorsally and another anteriorly (Mamiya et al., 2018. Its soma is found in a characteristic blade-shaped strip along the long axis of the femur (Mamiya et al., 2018. It encodes sensory information about tibial position (Agrawal et al., 2020. (Mamiya et al., 2018, Agrawal et al., 2020, Phillis et al., 1996)
