haltere tract
ID: FBbt_00049638
Adult Nervous system Neuron projection bundle
Tract formed from the continuation of sensory fibers from the dorsal metathoracic (haltere) nerve into the metathoracic neuromere extending towards the cervical connective (Court et al., 2020. It feeds into the intermediate tract of the dorsal cervical fasciculus in the mesothoracic neuromere as its lateral component (Power, 1948; Court et al., 2020. The tract has small arborizations with some of the fibers bending anterolaterally to become part of the haltere commissure in the metathoracic neuromere, while others turn ventrally and straggle into the dorsolateral part of the mesothoracic neuromere where they are quickly lost (Power, 1948; Court et al., 2020. (Court et al., 2020, Power, 1948)
