It expresses Gr5a, Gr64c and Gr64e in addition to the core receptors expressed by sugar-sensing neurons of the leg and the sensillum it innervates can detect the sugars fructose, glucose, maltose, maltotriose, palatinose, sucrose and trehalose (Ling et al., 2014). It does not ascend to the brain (Kwon et al., 2014). prothoracic leg taste bristle segmental tarsal chemosensory neuron detection of chemical stimulus sensory perception of sweet taste
