Guest guest Posted July 30, 2006 Report Posted July 30, 2006 Curr Biol. 2006 Jul 11;16(13):R509-11. Proprioception: a channel for body sense in the worm. Schafer WR. Division of Biological Sciences, University of California, San Diego, 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.
