bitter-sensing neuron of the leg [FBbt_00048209]

Sensory neuron that responds to bitter stimuli and innervates a taste bristle in the leg. These are characterized by expression of gustatory receptors Gr33a, Gr39a.a, Gr58c and Gr89a (Ling et al., 2014).

Adult Gustatory system Nervous system Sensory neuron

Sensory neuron that responds to bitter stimuli and innervates a taste bristle in the leg. These are characterized by expression of gustatory receptors Gr33a, Gr39a.a, Gr58c and Gr89a (Ling et al., 2014).

Gr expression determined by an exhaustive Gr-GAL4 expression screen of all Gr genes (although Gr68a expression could not be reliably mapped) in neurons of all tarsal taste bristles of all legs (Ling et al., 2014).
