HRN_VP5 [FBbt_00049659]

Adult hygrosensory neuron Ir68a that innervates antennal lobe glomerulus VP5 and innervates a sensillum housed in chamber II of the sacculus (Frank et al., 2017; Knecht et al., 2017; Marin et al., 2020). In VP5, it synapses to antennal lobe projection neuron VP1m+VP5 (Frank et al., 2017). It develops from an Naa precursor (Benton et al., 2025). There are around 7-9 of these cells per hemisphere (Marin et al., 2020).

There are around 7-9 of these cells per hemisphere (Marin et al., 2020).

FBrf0235932 and FBrf0236232 have contradictory results regarding expression of Ir25a in these cells. Synapsing with PN in VP5 shown by GRASP (Frank et al., 2017).
