Squid Found to Have More Sensory Hair Cells Than Known
Original: 🦑 NEWS: Researchers at Case Western Reserve University found that # squid carry far more hair cells across their bodies
Researchers at Case Western Reserve University report that squid carry far more hair cells across their bodies than previously known. Using light sheet microscopy, they built the first full-body map of these sensory clusters and found the hair bundles vary in length, suggesting the cells may detect different kinds of stimuli. The finding reshapes understanding of how squid sense their surroundings.
Why now: The first full-body mapping of squid sensory cells is a striking new finding in marine biology
