General Information
Term branchiomotor neuron axon guidance ID (Ontology) GO:0021785 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which a branchiomotor neuron growth cone is directed to a specific target site. Branchiomotor neurons are located in the hindbrain and innervate branchial arch-derived muscles that control jaw movements, facial expression, the larynx, and the pharynx.[ PubMed:14699587 ]
Also Known As "BMN axon guidance" ; "branchial motor axon guidance" ; "special visceral motor neuron axon guidance"
