Abstract
A set of sensory interneurons that have been studied for over 30 years by several different research groups were discovered to have previously unknown encoding characteristics. As well as encoding the direction of bulk airflow with a coarse-coding scheme as shown in previous studies, these interneurons are also responsive to very small-scale, directionally complex air current waveforms. This feature sensitivity can be understood in terms of the cells’ complex dendritic branching patterns.
