Huey E, Turecek J, Delisle M, Mazor O, Romero G, Dua M, et al.
Cell . 2024 Dec; 188(1):104-120.e18. PMID: 39701100
Vibrations are ubiquitous in nature, shaping behavior across the animal kingdom. For mammals, mechanical vibrations acting on the body are detected by mechanoreceptors of the skin and deep tissues and...

Zhang D, Turecek J, Choi S, Delisle M, Pamplona C, Meltzer S, et al.
Science . 2024 Nov; 386(6722):686-692. PMID: 39509513
Many hairy mammals perform rapid oscillations of their body, called wet dog shakes, to remove water and irritants from their back hairy skin. The somatosensory mechanisms that underlie this behavior...

Turecek J, Ginty D
Neuron . 2024 Aug; 112(19):3267-3277.e6. PMID: 39116877
Pacinian corpuscle neurons are specialized low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) that are tuned to detect high-frequency vibration (∼50-2,000 Hz); however, it is unclear how Pacinians and other LTMRs encode mechanical forces encountered...

Zhang D, Turecek J, Choi S, Delisle M, Pamplona C, Meltzer S, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Jun; PMID: 38915692
Mammals perform rapid oscillations of their body- "wet dog shakes" -to remove water and irritants from their back hairy skin. The somatosensory mechanisms underlying this stereotypical behavior are unknown. We...

Tasnim A, Alkislar I, Hakim R, Turecek J, Abdelaziz A, Orefice L, et al.
Nat Neurosci . 2024 Jan; 27(3):484-496. PMID: 38233682
Altered somatosensory reactivity is frequently observed among individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Here, we report that although multiple mouse models of ASD exhibit aberrant somatosensory behaviors in adulthood, some...

Santiago C, Sharma N, Africawala N, Siegrist J, Handler A, Tasnim A, et al.
bioRxiv . 2023 Oct; PMID: 37790437
We report a role for activity in the development of the primary sensory neurons that detect touch. Genetic deletion of Piezo2, the principal mechanosensitive ion channel in somatosensory neurons, caused...

bioRxiv . 2023 Sep; PMID: 37745531
Pacinian corpuscle neurons are specialized low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) that are tuned to detect high-frequency vibration (~40-2000 Hz), however it is unclear how Pacinians and other LTMRs encode mechanical forces encountered...

Handler A, Zhang Q, Pang S, Nguyen T, Iskols M, Nolan-Tamariz M, et al.
Neuron . 2023 Sep; 111(20):3211-3229.e9. PMID: 37725982
Across mammalian skin, structurally complex and diverse mechanosensory end organs respond to mechanical stimuli and enable our perception of dynamic, light touch. How forces act on morphologically dissimilar mechanosensory end...
