The researchers used their findings to create a «mechanosensory map» of zebrafish hair cells.

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.

Scientists have known that proprioceptive signals originate from so - called mechanosensory neurons, whose nerve ends are embedded in muscles, skin and other tissues.

Finally, laser ablations of hindbrain circuitry confirmed that visual and mechanosensory modal - ities share the same premotor output network.
