proboscis muscle 3 lateral motor neuron [FBbt_00051185]
Motor neuron that innervates lateral fibers of proboscis muscle 3, which flexes the haustellum (McKellar et al., 2020). Its soma is found in a dorsal part of the cell body rind of the subesophageal zone (McKellar et al., 2020). It arborizes in the ventral subesophageal zone and travels to the proboscis via the pharyngeal nerve (McKellar et al., 2020).
