Mechanosensors in the antennae of hawkmoths provide rapid sensory feedback for the control of fast flight manoeuvres, which acts in parallel to visual information.

Bioluminescence monitoring and selective silencing in zebrafish larva reveal a novel sensorimotor circuit modulating speed in the moving spinal cord.

Expansion microscopy combined with light-sheet and STED microscopy elucidated the spatial organization and subcellular composition of two distinct GABAergic CSF-c neuronal subtypes in the lamprey spinal cord.

In vitro and in vivo physiological analyses reveal that mammalian auditory neuron intrinsic mechanical sensitivity contributes to sound-evoked activity and explains other previously unexplained auditory neuron features.

Osteoblastic PGE2 induces pain and OA progression by Na_V1.8 modification and serves as a potential target multiple skeletal pain and degenerations.

Molecular, cellular and behavioral genetic approaches in Platynereis dumerilii indicate that r-Opsins can act as ancient, light-dependent modulators of mechanosensation, and suggest that light-independent mechanosensory roles of r-Opsins evolved secondarily.

Echolocating toothed whales can detect and react to sudden prey movements during close approaches with speeds similar to ultra-fast tracking responses in human vision.

New biophysical methods and analyses visualize in real-time a chain of coordinated single-molecular events on a living cell, enabling the inner workings of a mechanoreceptor important to biology to be elucidated.

Sensory neurons previously shown to optimize speed and balance in fish by providing information about the curvature of the spine show similar morphology and connectivity in mice.

By acting as versatile signal-processors that encode flexible coordinate representations, muscle spindles challenge current widely held views concerning the role of proprioceptors and the peripheral nervous system in sensorimotor function.
