BM-InOc [FBbt_00052792]

Mechanosensory neuron that has its dendrite in a interocellar bristle. It follows the antennal nerve and terminates in the subesophageal zone (Eichler et al., 2024). In the brain, it has a contralateral projection (Eichler et al., 2024). There is one of these per interocellar bristle (around 3-4 per side) (Eichler et al., 2024). Its activity elicits head grooming behavior (Eichler et al., 2024).
