Anoctamins mediate polymodal sensory perception and larval metamorphosis in a non-vertebrate chordate
Liang et al. report that Ano5 and Ano6 are required for sensing and responding to
mechanical and chemical cues that mediate larval settlement and metamorphosis in the
invertebrate chordate Ciona intes...

Congratulations to the Chatzigeorgiou lab @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social for a new preprint 🤩👏 @midlangandreas.bsky.social and team studied the mechanical forces at play during #Ciona postembryonic development, and found links to larval chemosensation and settlement behavior 🧪 Read the article ⤵️
Mechanics regulate the postembryonic developmental maturation and function of sensory neurons in a pre-vertebrate chordate
Physical forces are emerging as important contributors to a wide diversity of biological processes across multiple scales and contexts. The development of the nervous system is infuenced by mechanical...

Our latest preprint is out! @olegtolstenkov.bsky.social did a great job in dissecting Ciona larval rheotaxis behavior. He also mapped the underlying neuronal circuit. We also include some insightful mathematical modelling from our collaborators Ayumi Ozawa and Tetsuya Hiraiwa.
📣 New preprint from the @mchatzigeorgiou.bsky.social lab, led by @olegtolstenkov.bsky.social 👏🧪 Using a combination of behavioral and computational analyses, the authors show that #Ciona can process detailed information about water flow and perform rheotaxis 🧠 Read the full story ⤵️
The cellular and behavioral blueprints of chordate rheotaxis.
The oceans are filled with life-forms exhibiting complex adaptations to help navigate fluid environments and take advantage of fluid motion to locomote and disperse. However, the neuronal and behavior...
