Primary processes in sensory cells: current advances

摘要: In the course of evolution, strong and unremitting selective pressure on sensory performance has driven acuity organs to its physical limits. As a consequence, study primary processes illustrates impressively how far physiological function can be improved if survival species depends it. Sensory cells that detect single-photons, single molecules, mechanical motions nanometer scale, or incredibly small fluctuations electromagnetic fields have fascinated physiologists for long time. It is great challenge understand molecular level. This review points out some important recent developments in search mediate touch perception, hearing, vision, taste, olfaction, as well analysis light polarization orientation Earth’s magnetic field. The data are screened common transduction strategies an aspect may helpful researchers
