Mechanical cues trigger neuronal activity and ion channel receptors

Mechanical forces regulate neuronal activity during C. elegans locomotion:   Finally! The latest paper from the Neurophotonics & Mechanical Systems Biology group  at ICFO has been published in SCIENCE ADVANCES. In this work entitled “An asymmetric mechanical code ciphers curvature-dependent proprioceptor activity”, the mechanical activation of neuronal activity in C. elegans is studied by means […]
