water-sensing neuron of labellar taste bristle [FBbt_00100042]
A water-sensing neuron that innervates a sensillum of the labellum (Montell, 2009). One of these neurons is found innervating every L-type sensillum and some S-type sensilla, but they are absent from I-type sensilla (Jaeger et al., 2018). They express the osmosensitive ion channel ppk28 (Freeman and Dahanukar, 2015).
