Its axonal projection enters the VNC through the ventral prothoracic nerve (Kuan et al., 2020). It detects leg movements associated with low-viscosity food and is required for the enhancement of the proboscis extension reflex in response to yeast odors in combination with low-viscosity food (Oh et al., 2021). fly_anatomy.ontology CoHP8 neurons appear to only exist in the prothoracic leg, based on split-GAL4 expression (Oh et al., 2021).
