BM-Ant [FBbt_00052788]

Mechanosensory neuron that has its dendrite in an antennal 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 antennal bristle (around 20 per side) (Eichler et al., 2024).
