Proprioception: a channel for body sense in the worm.

Schafer WR.

La Jolla, California 92093, USA.

A TRP family cation channel has been found to be critical for

proprioception in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This is a

starting point for understanding conserved mechanotransduction

mechanisms in proprioceptor neurons, and for deciphering how sensory

feedback can function within a defined neural circuit to produce

coordinated patterns of motor activity.
