Figure 1

Diagram of the sensory cells of an embryonic or larval abdominal hemisegment (A1-A7). Three types of sensory organs are found: (1) external sensory organs, composed of three accessory cells (oval shape) and one or several neurons (circular shape), (2) chordotonal organs, composed of accessory cells (oval shape) and neurons (elongated triangular shape), (3) multidendritic neurons (diamond shape). The most conspicuous sensory dendrites are represented as a straight line. Note that the dmd1/dda1 neuron presents a unique dendritic arborization different from the other da neurons. Anterior is left and dorsal is up.
