Karekal A, Mandawe R, Chun C, Byri S, Cheline D, Ortiz S, et al.
Exp Physiol . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39898428
It is challenging to stimulate gamma motor neurons, which are important regulators of muscle spindle afferent function, without also recruiting alpha motor neurons. Here, we test the feasibility of stimulating...

Espino C, Nagaraja C, Ortiz S, Dayton J, Murali A, Ma Y, et al.
Sci Adv . 2025 Jan; 11(2):eads6660. PMID: 39772670
Animals requiring purposeful movement for survival are endowed with mechanoreceptors, called proprioceptors, that provide essential sensory feedback from muscles and joints to spinal cord circuits, which modulates motor output. Despite...

Espino C, Nagaraja C, Ortiz S, Dayton J, Murali A, Ma Y, et al.
bioRxiv . 2024 Sep; PMID: 39253497
Animals that require purposeful movement for survival are endowed with mechanosensory neurons called proprioceptors that provide essential sensory feedback from muscles and joints to spinal cord circuits, which modulates motor...

Espino C, Lewis C, Ortiz S, Dalal M, Garlapalli S, Wells K, et al.
Elife . 2022 Oct; 11. PMID: 36278870
The voltage-gated sodium channel (Na), Na1.1, is well-studied in the central nervous system; conversely, its contribution to peripheral sensory neuron function is more enigmatic. Here, we identify a new role...

Than K, Kim E, Navarro C, Chu S, Klier N, Occiano A, et al.
J Physiol . 2021 Mar; 599(11):2953-2967. PMID: 33749829
Key Points: Muscle spindle afferents are slowly adapting low threshold mechanoreceptors that report muscle length and movement information critical for motor control and proprioception. The rapidly adapting cation channel PIEZO2 ...
