For males of each genotype, the total number of taste neurons as well as the number of neuron pairs associated with a single taste hair is shown for the tibia and tarsal segments 1 through 5 (TA1 to TA5). The numbers shown are typical for the majority of legs examined for each genotype (N > 10), with occasional exceptions displaying an extra cell at a variable location.
