Proprioception is our internal sense of body and limb position and is required for motor reflexes and purposeful movement; however, the cellular mechanisms governing proprioceptor activity remain poorly understood. Our work on voltage gated sodium channels (Navs) finds distinct and non-redundant roles for the Nav1.1 and Nav1.6 subtypes in mammalian proprioception.
