Proprioception: A Channel for Body Sense in the Worm
Open accessAbstract
A TRP family cation channel has been found to be critical for proprioception in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. This is a starting point for understanding conserved mechanotransduction mechanisms in proprioceptor neurons, and for deciphering how sensory feedback can function within a defined neural circuit to produce coordinated patterns of motor activity.

Stretch-receptor-mediated proprioception has long been postulated to exist in C. elegans motoneurons and has recently been reported experimentally.
“Stretch-receptor-mediated proprioception has long been postulated to exist in C. elegans motoneurons and has recently been reported experimentally (Li et al., 2006; Schafer, 2006).”

“Moreover, the behavioral roles of many of these neurons have been uncovered using experimental techniques including targeted cell killing (Chalfie et al., 1985; McIntire et al., 1993b) and genetic mutations (Brenner, 1974; McIntire et al., 1993a).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
