Sensing of internal body status is essential for proper functioning of many different organ systems. In many cases, internal sensory neurons are important sensors and regulators of such physiological homeostasis. We study the function and development of identified internal sensory neurons in Drosophila larvae. Our ultimate goal is to identify how internal sensory neurons sense and relay information about internal body status and contribute to the maintenance of physiological homeostasis.
