There are two of these cells per hemisphere, one has its cell body on the dorsal surface of the metathoracic neuromere with contralateral ventral nerve cord dendrites and the other has its cell body in the abdominal ganglion with bilateral ventral nerve cord dendrites (Kim et al., 2017). 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). It fasciculates with the lateral antennal lobe tract and terminates in the superior lateral protocerebrum, with terminals in and around the lateral horn (Kim et al., 2017). adult TPN2 fly_anatomy.ontology TPN2 FBbt:00049530 TPN2 VFB:FBbt_00049530 adult VNC neuron adult subesophageal zone sensory perception of sweet taste bilateral
