ventral nerve cord projection neuron of the lateral supraesophageal gustatory tract [FBbt_00059256]
A gustatory projection neuron with a cell body near the abdominal ganglion in the ventral nerve cord and that projects through the lateral supraesophageal tract. It receives input from each contralateral leg neuromere, crosses the midline and ascends toward the central brain. It extend dense arborizations into the contralateral supraesophageal zone and projects to the contralateral superior lateral protocerebrum, with minor collaterals in the lateral protocerebrum (Talay et al., 2017).
