J. Marti-Solans, A. Borve, P. Bump, A. Hejnol, T. Lynagh
The paper investigates the evolutionary emergence and functional role of acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs) in bilaterian animals, finding they originated as a bilaterian innovation and were initially expressed peripherally before being incorporated into the brain.
