Abstrakt: Discusses genetic and molecular studies in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) that have culminated in a molecular model of body touch transduction and the identification of candidate mechanically gated ion channels. Details on the mechanosensory touch receptor neurons; Structural genes required for touch receptor function; Intracellular proteins needed for touch transduction.
