Mechanisms of graviperception and response in unicellular systems

This introduction to a symposium considers established principles of mechanoreception and the physiology of excitable cells as a background of gravireception. From the perspective of experimental work in protists, current developments in the treatment and interpretation of graviresponses are address...
