HBeyelet
ID: FBbt_00005740
Cholinergic, rhabdomeric photoreceptor cell of the eyelet (Yasuyama and Meinertzhagen, 1999. It expresses Rh6 and is green light-sensitive (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022. It develops from an Rh5 photoreceptor of the larval Bolwig organ, which changes its Rhodopsin expression during pupal development (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022. Its functions in the entrainment of the circadian clock (Helfrich-Forster et al., 2002. Its axon terminates in the accessory medulla (Helfrich-Forster et al., 2007. There are four of these cells per eyelet (Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022. (Yasuyama and Meinertzhagen, 1999, Helfrich-Forster et al., 2002, Helfrich-Forster et al., 2007, Jean-Guillaume and Kumar, 2022)
Evidence that this is a cholinergic sensory neuron comes from staining for choline acetyltransferase expression. (Yasuyama and Meinertzhagen, 1999.
