Afferent neurons of the zebrafish lateral line are strict selectors of hair-cell orientation.

Afferent neurons of the zebrafish lateral line are strict selectors of hair-cell orientation.

Hair cells in the inner ear display a characteristic polarization of their apical stereocilia across the plane of the sensory epithelium. This planar orientation allows coherent transduction of mechanical stimuli because the axis of morphological polarity of the stereocilia corresponds to the direct...
