Proprioception: a channel for body sense in the worm.

Current biology : CB - 11 Jul 2006

Schafer William R

Abstract excerpt

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.
