BM-InOm [FBbt_00047346]

Mechanosensory neuron of the adult with a dendrite that innervates an interommatidial bristle and an axon that projects via the eye nerve to the subesophageal zone (Hampel et al., 2017; Eichler et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral in the brain (Eichler et al., 2024). There is one of these per interommatidial bristle (around 600-650 per side) (Eichler et al., 2024). Its activity elicits head grooming behavior (Eichler et al., 2024).
