In the brain it extends to the posterior side of the ipsilateral antennal mechanosensory and motor center zone D, branching to form postsynaptic terminals in zones B, C, D and E (Matsuo et al., 2014). It then passes through the posterior side of the gnathal ganglion (Matsuo et al., 2014) and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018). In the VNC, it remains ipsilateral, fasciculating with the ventral lateral tract of the ventral cervical fascicle and innervating the neck, wing and haltere neuropils and the intermediate tectulum (Namiki et al., 2018). There is one of these cells per hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018; Sturner et al., 2025). antennal mechanosensory and motor center zone C antennal mechanosensory and motor center zone D antennal mechanosensory and motor center zone E cell body rind of adult inferior neuropils antennal mechanosensory and motor center B projection neuron adult posterior brain cell body rind unilateral
