Sensory neuron (Thermosensory) | AB alpppapav AB praaaapav |
Lateral ganglia in head | Express neuropeptide-like proteins, NLP-7 and NLP-21 (Nathoo A. et al 2001). | AMsh and AMso | DESCRIPTION |
|
Amphid neurons with finger-like ciliated endings embedded in the amphid sheath cell. Functions: Involved in thermosensation. Laser ablation of the AFD pair makes a significant portion of the animals athermotactic. See model below. (Mori I. and Ohshima Y. 1995). Receptor expression: Not known |
