Definition Adult nerve containing axons from mechanosensory neurons of the head capsule (Ito et al., 2014). Axon fibers innervate the antennal mechanosensory and motor center (AMMC) and may continue into the gnathal ganglion and ventral nerve cord (Ito et al., 2014).[ FlyBase:FBrf0007735 FlyBase:FBrf0224194 ]
