Cadherin-16 regulates acoustic sensory gating in zebrafish through endocrine signaling
Sensory gating is a neuronal process that enables animals to distinguish between threatening and non-threatening stimuli. This study reveals a brain non-autonomous mechanism whereby cadherin-16-dependent changes in the endocrine organ corpuscle of Stannius regulate whole-body Ca2+ homeostasis and sensory gating in zebrafish.
