associated with the longer hairs within a hair plate form direct, mono-synaptic excitatory chemical synapses with motor neurons as well as synapses with non-spiking interneurons that provide inhibitory input onto antagonistic motor neurons. Therefore, hair plates provide rapid feedback to control the movement direction of the leg they are located on. It remains unknown what information the smaller hairs of hair plates signal and what that information is used for in leg motor control.
