part of has characteristic fasciculates with capable of has sensory dendrite in adult posterior dorsal mesothoracic nerve anterior dorsocentral bristle neuron adult thoracic mechanosensory chaeta neuron mechanosensory neuron of anterior dorsocentral bristle 2015-09-17T15:54:33Z VFB:FBbt_00111220 Mechanosensory neuron that innervates the anterior dorsocentral bristle in the adult thorax. It fasciculates with the posterior dorsal mesothoracic nerve, extends ventrally and medially, bifurcates and follows the main course of the pathway anteriorly, along the medial edge and halfway along the prothoracic neuromere, and posteriorly, along the mesothoracic neuromere. The main crossbranch extends contralaterally. Occasionally, anterior and posterior crossbranches are observed. The central branches form mostly terminal but also en passant synapses. Presynaptic terminals are enriched near the midline, along the anterior branch, contralateral branches and on the distal tip of the posterior projecting branch.
