It receives input from sugar-sensing (Gr5a-expressing) neurons in the leg neuropil, it is activated in response to sweet stimulation of the legs and it promotes proboscis extension (Kim et al., 2017). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Kim et al., 2017). adult TPN1 VFB:FBbt_00049529 TPN1 fly_anatomy.ontology adult VNC neuron adult subesophageal zone cell body rind of adult metathoracic neuromere sensory perception of sweet taste bilateral
