BM-Oc [FBbt_00052803]

Mechanosensory neuron that has its dendrite in an ocellar 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 ocellar bristle (one per side) (Eichler et al., 2024).
