Using specific genetic driver lines, built by Chenghao Chen, we mapped the distribution of the 5 proprioceptor subtypes across the 3 groups. This showed that proprioceptors encoding joint position, movement, and vibration are clustered together in specific compartments.
A thread by first-author Chenghao Chen, on our paper investigating how diverse signals from leg proprioceptors (movement, position, direction) are integrated in second-order circuits, a collaborative project supported by the HHMI | Janelia visitor program.

JepsonLab_UCL UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology Congratulations, James!!! ๐พ๐พ๐พ
Ralf Stanewsky Also my longest submission-- publication record by far. But even two more years preparation before the 1st submission.๐
9/n Huge thanks to my mentors John Tuthill, Barry Dickson and Gwyneth Card, and to all the collaborators. This project was made possible by the visitor project program @hhmijanelia.
We're excited about these new papers from John Tuthill and Chenghao Chen, Fereshteh Lagzi and Adrienne Fairhall, and Edgar Y. Walker. ๐Kudos to the authors! ๐
