These observations suggest that interactions between sensory neurons and their targets may be important in determining their central connections.
We also show that both B52 neurons are sensory neurons.
Results of the present study support the hypothesis that neurons in the nucleus reticularis parvicellularis receive convergent inputs from different sensory modalities.2+ behaviors.
By learning to estimate time-dependent sensory input signals from the spike trains of single neurons, we are able to measure the rate at which the spike trains convey information about the sensory inputs.
All sensory cells apparently are nerve independent for their formation, and at least sensory cells in the ear and the taste system share the neurotrophic support for their specific sensory neurons.
These results support the hypothesis that different sensory systems differentially regulate neuronal circuit activity despite their convergent actions on a single subpopulation of projection neurons.
This is the first direct evidence that some sensory neurons are contained entirely within the peripheral nervous system.
Thus, our studies provide new insight into the ontogeny of spinal neurons processing distinct sensory modalities.
This may have implications for the combinations of substances contained within neurons with distinct sensory functions.
