In sensory ciliated neurons, FoxN4 Forkhead (FKH) transcription factors directly coregulate transcription of ciliome genes together with RFX transcription factors, a similar regulatory logic to what is found for motile-cilium cell types, suggesting an ancestral origin for this partnership.

The three-dimensional structures of 50 sensory cilia present in the head of the adult C. elegans hermaphrodite have been reconstructed to provide a foundation for investigations into the mechanisms by which the diversity of cilia structures is generated and how this structural diversity is related to specific sensory neuron functions.

Purkinje cell dendritic calcium response is finely controlled by the burst activity of climbing fiber during sensory coding.

Disposal of ciliary proteins via ectosomes budding from cilia tip or cilia base acts as a safeguard mechanism when cilia trafficking functions are impaired.

A Tubby protein regulates ciliary membrane morphology and phosphoinositide composition in a context-dependent manner.

C. elegans EFHC1 influences neuronal transmission through the cilium and the synapse.

Cnidarian stinging cells use a specialized voltage-gated calcium channel to integrate distinct sensory signals and selectively trigger a predatory response.

Chemical receptors located on cilia can achieve particle capture rates that are many times higher than receptors located on a flat epithelial surface.

Olfactory sensory neurons have centrioles that are amplified in number and that migrate from the cell body to the end of the dendrite relatively slowly and in groups, becoming mature only after they reach their destination.

Simultaneous voltage and calcium two-photon imaging of Purkinje neuron dendrites in awake mice reveals multiple interplaying mechanisms underlying sensory-evoked dendritic coincidence detection of parallel fiber and climbing fiber input.
