ventral scoloparium of femoral chordotonal organ

ID: FBbt_00052628

Scoloparium that contains the dendrites of all claw neurons and hook extension neurons of a femoral chordotonal organ (Mamiya et al., 2023). It is ventral to the lateral scoloparium and somata are organized into two groups, with claw neurons in a proximal cluster and hook extension neurons in a distal cluster (Mamiya et al., 2023). Cell bodies in this scoloparium tend to move around during joint extension and flexion (Mamiya et al., 2023).

Mamiya et al. (2023) are inconsistent with use of 'group 1', 'group 2' and 'group 3' terminology, so these synonyms have not been added cp231212.
