报告内容简介：
Touch sensation is essential for behaviors ranging from environmental exploration to social interaction, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we found that class III dendritic arborization (da) neurons of Drosophila larvae are touch sensitive and contribute to gentle touch sensation. We further identify NOMPC (no mechanoreceptor potential C), as a pore-forming subunit of a mechanotransduction channel for gentle touch.
