Identification of novel vibration- and deflection-sensitive neuronal subgroups in Johnston’s organ of the fruit fly

The fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster responds behaviorally to sound, gravity, and wind. Johnston’s organ (JO) at the antennal base serves as a sensory organ in the fruit fly to detect these mechanosensory stimuli. Among the five anatomically defined subgroups of sensory neurons in JO, subgroups A a...
