The paper identifies FRMPD4 as a causal gene for X-linked non-syndromic hearing loss through genetic analysis and cross-species functional studies.

Myosin II in Drosophila cap cells pre-stretches proprioceptive chordotonal neurons, modulating their mechanical response and sensory adaptation.

This study investigates the effects of spastizin mutations in zebrafish, showing axon demyelination and degeneration in M-cells, leading to impaired locomotion.

The paper characterizes the spiking responses of Drosophila larval chordotonal organs to mechanical stimuli, revealing their role in proprioception during locomotion.
