Polymodal Functionality of C. elegans OLL Neurons in Mechanosensation and Thermosensation / 神经科学通报·英文版

ABSTRACT

Sensory modalities are important for survival but the molecular mechanisms remain challenging due to the polymodal functionality of sensory neurons. Here, we report the C. elegans outer labial lateral (OLL) sensilla sensory neurons respond to touch and cold. Mechanosensation of OLL neurons resulted in cell-autonomous mechanically-evoked Ca
