femoral chordotonal club neuron [FBbt_00049556]
Femoral chordotonal organ (FeCO) neuron that projects close to the midline of the ventral nerve cord (VNC) and forms a club-shaped arborization in the medial ventral association center (Phillis et al., 1996; Mamiya et al., 2018). Some of these neurons ascend to the brain or project to other regions of the VNC (Mamiya et al., 2018). Its soma is found in the proximal part of the FeCO (Mamiya et al., 2018). It encodes sensory information about tibial vibration and bidirectional movement (Agrawal et al., 2020).
