The paper identifies distinct roles for NaV1.1 and NaV1.6 in mammalian proprioception, showing differential effects on motor function and proprioceptive transmission.

This study identifies NaV1.1 as essential for proprioceptive signaling and motor behaviors in mice, showing its role in maintaining reliable proprioceptor firing during sustained muscle stretch.

The paper shows that a gain-of-function PIEZO2 mutation in sensory neurons causes joint contractures in mice, and that Botox and dietary fatty acids can alleviate these defects.
