Begrudging the bat.

The article focuses on a study by researcher Ellen Lumpkin and Cynthia Moss, which attempts to identity and organization of mechanoreceptor neurons that innervate the wing of the big brown bat Eptesicus fuscus. Topics discussed include use of fluorescent dye-fill techniques to trace the axons of wing mechanoreceptor neurons, occurrence and distribution of sensory receptors on the bat wing, and measuring of activity of single neurons in somatosensory cortex.
