mesothoracic sternal adductor muscle motor neuron [FBbt_00053566]

Adult motor neuron that has its soma in the mesothoracic neuromere and innervates the mesothoracic sternal adductor muscle (Azevedo et al., 2024; Cheong et al., 2025). There is one of these on each side and it fasciculates with the mesothoracic leg nerve (Cheong et al., 2025; Bates et al., 2025).

Adult Motor neuron Nervous system

Adult motor neuron that has its soma in the mesothoracic neuromere and innervates the mesothoracic sternal adductor muscle (Azevedo et al., 2024; Cheong et al., 2025). There is one of these on each side and it fasciculates with the mesothoracic leg nerve (Cheong et al., 2025; Bates et al., 2025).

Segmental homologue of similarly-named prothoracic neuron, but unclear from references which muscle from Miller (1950) - FBrf0186027 this innervates.
