We report that the visual system alone can recruit lateral - ized, rapid escape motor programs, similar to those elicited by mechanosensory modalities. (science.institut-curie.org)
The researchers used their findings to create a «mechanosensory map» of zebrafish hair cells. (sciencedaily.com)
Cook noted the results show how a seemingly general mechanosensory, membrane - stretch - sensitive neuron can evolve a specificity for a particular type of proprioceptive signal. (sciencedaily.com)
