BM-dOcci [FBbt_00052798]

Mechanosensory neuron that has its dendrite in a premandibular bristle. It follows the occipital nerve and terminates in the subesophageal zone (Eichler et al., 2024). It remains ipsilateral in the brain (Eichler et al., 2024). There is one of these per premandibular bristle (around 4-5 per side) (Eichler et al., 2024).
