Ultra high-resolution biomechanics suggest that substructures within insect mechanosensors decisively affect their sensitivity

Insect load sensors, called campaniform sensilla (CS), measure strain changes within the cuticle of appendages. This mechanotransduction provides the neuromuscular system with feedback for posture and locomotion. Owing to their diverse morphology and arrangement, CS can encode different strain direc...
