Gustatory system Nervous system Sensory neuron
A sugar-sensing neuron that innervates a taste bristle (Montell, 2009). These neurons may also respond to amino acids (Dunipace et al., 2001; Ganguly et al., 2017).
The projection of S cells (sugar-sensitive) of the labellum to the subesophageal zone, and of leg gustatory sensilla to the thoracic ganglion are segregated from the projections of L2 GRNs (bitter-sensitive) to the central brain (Wang et al., 2004).
