| Name: | Rohon-Beard neuron |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | RB neuron, Rohon-Beard cell, Rohon-Beard neurons |
| Definition: | Primary sensory neurons with cell bodies located in the dorsal spinal cord, that innervate the integument of the trunk and tail at early larval stages. The cutaneous axons of Rohon-Beard neurons display a broad spectrum of peripheral axon branching patterns. Most Rohon-Beard neurons undergo apoptosis by 5dpf. |
