metathoracic sternal anterior rotator muscle motor neuron [FBbt_00053569]
Adult motor neuron that has its soma in the metathoracic neuromere and innervates the metathoracic sternal anterior rotator muscle (Azevedo et al., 2024; Cheong et al., 2025). There are two of these on each side and they fasciculate with the metathoracic leg nerve (Bates et al., 2025).

Adult Motor neuron Nervous system
Adult motor neuron that has its soma in the metathoracic neuromere and innervates the metathoracic sternal anterior rotator muscle (Azevedo et al., 2024; Cheong et al., 2025). There are two of these on each side and they fasciculate with the metathoracic leg nerve (Bates et al., 2025).
Segmental homologue of similarly-named prothoracic neuron, but unclear from references which muscle from Miller (1950) - FBrf0186027 this innervates.
