This study shows PKD2L1 channels in the apical process of CSFcNs are sensitive to pH changes, modulating neuronal excitability through both phasic and sustained currents.

This paper identifies a cilia-independent mechanosensory mechanism in mouse CSF-contacting neurons using filopodia instead of cilia, showing evolutionary divergence from zebrafish.

This study shows that connexins Cx26 and Cx43 are critical for ependymal cell response to spinal cord injury, with Cx26 affecting proliferation and healing, and Cx43 mediating calcium signaling.
