Schematic of the anatomy of thermoreception in Drosophila. Left: Hot cells (red) and cold cells (blue) that sense heat and cold are present peripherally in the arista. The Sacculus cells (dark blue) are located in a pouch called the Sacculus within the antennal segments (light and dark purple). Anterior cells (yellow) are found inside the brain, near the antennae. Right: The chordotonal organ (yellow-black stripes) is located at the root of the Drosophila leg.
