Identification and Classification of Tongue-Innervating Mechanoreceptors
In this webinar, Dr. Yalda Moayedi discusses how tongue-innervating neurons can be clearly identified and classified according to their mechanosensory functionalities. Oral mechanosensory neurons provide essential information for feeding and social behaviors, yet no one knows the identities and functional properties of the neurons involved.
