摘要

Humans, like all animals, depend on sensory systems to perceive different aspects of the physical world. One of the most remarkable achievements of evolution has been the development of sensory cells that are specialized to detect unique aspects of this world such as a single photon or a single molecular odorant. Similarly, our ability to perceive sound is mediated through the vibration of exquisitely sensitive stereo-ciliary bundles located on the luminal surfaces of mechanosensory hair cells. A deflection of a little as 1 nM at the tip of the stereociliary bundle is sufficient to elicit a change in the resting potential and synaptic activity of the cell (1). Unraveling the molecular mechanisms that mediate the perception of physical stimuli has been one of the most exciting and rewarding endeavors in modern biology.
