part of develops from larva larval lateral sensory cluster 2008-11-18T01:36:59Z Cluster of sense organs, and the somas and dendrites of sensory neurons, located laterally, close to the surface of a larval segment (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). It is located in the niche formed between the lateral transverse muscles and the lateral epidermis (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). The pattern of sense organs and neurons is highly similar in segments A1-7, and slightly modified in the thoracic segments (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). The axons of most neurons in this cluster fasciculate with the intersegmental nerve (Campos-Ortega and Hartenstein, 1997). larval thoracic/abdominal lateral sensory cluster lateral group of sensory organs Terminal (A8-10) segments have substantially different morphology, such that no 'lateral cluster' is present as seen in more anterior segments.
