Sensory ecology: Uncovering the neural basis of  settlement in a marine larva

Curr Biol. 2024 Mar 25;34(6):R249-R251. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.019.ABSTRACTMarine larvae must sense various environmental cues to find a suitable spot where they can settle and metamorphose. New work identifies the specific neurons that transduce these cues in the larva of Ciona, a non-vertebrate chordate.PMID:38531319 | DOI:10.1016/j.cub.2024.02.019
