Lateral Facilitation between Primary Mechanosensory Neurons Controls Nose Touch Perception in C. elegans

The nematode C. elegans senses head and nose touch using multiple classes of mechanoreceptor neurons that are electrically coupled through a network of gap junctions. Using in vivo neuroimaging, we have found that multidendritic nociceptors in the head respond to harsh touch throughout their recepti...
