Active signal conduction through the sensory dendrite of a spider mechanoreceptor neuron.
Rapid responses to sensory stimulation are crucial for survival. This must be especially true for mechanical stimuli containing temporal information, such as vibration. Sensory transduction occurs at the tips of relatively long sensory dendrites in many mechanoreceptors of both vertebrates and invertebrates, but little is known about the electrical properties of these crucial links between tran...
متن کاملAdaptation properties of two types of sensory neurons in a spider mechanoreceptor organ.
The VS-3 slit-sense organs of the tropical wandering spider Cupiennius salei contain two types of mechanosensory neurons with similar morphology but different adaptation properties. We measured the changes in membrane potential produced by mechanical stimulation and by electric current stimulation in a large number of neurons of both types. No significant differences were found between the pass...

متن کاملSensory Augmentation through Tissue Conduction
One hundred volunteers have undergone short (5 min) listening tests in a novel multitransducer bone-and-tissue conduction apparatus for spatial audio. The subjects subsequently described their experiences in an unstructured qualitative elicitation exercise. Their responses were aggregated to identify key themes and differences. Emergent themes are: enjoyable, informative, spatial and strange. T...
متن کاملNetrin-guided accessory cell morphogenesis dictates the dendrite orientation and migration of a Drosophila sensory neuron.
Accessory cells, which include glia and other cell types that develop in close association with neurons, have been shown to play key roles in regulating neuron development. However, the underlying molecular and cellular mechanisms remain poorly understood. A particularly intimate association between accessory cells and neurons is found in insect chordotonal organs. We have found that the cap ce...
