The Merkel cell-neurite complex is considered to be one class of mechanoreceptors in the skin. Merkel cells are innervated by slowly adapting type I (SAI) tactile nerve fibers. In this paper, the detailed distribution of Merkel cells is stu...

Balance problems and falls are common in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) but their cause and nature are not well understood. It is known that MS affects many areas of the central nervous system that can impact postural responses to main...

Thresholds for the perception of vibration vary with location on the body due to the organization of tactile channels in hairy and non-hairy skin, and variations in receptor density. This study determined vibration thresholds at four locati...

In two experiments, we measured the direction, duration, frequency, and vividness of the tactile motion aftereffect (MAE) induced by a rotating drum with a ridged surface. In Experiment 1, we adapted the: (1) fingers and palm, including the...
Static mechanical allodynia (SMA) is a paradoxical painful hypo-aesthesia: observations derived from neuropathic pain patients treated with somatosensory rehabilitation [0.03%]

The present study aimed at investigating the time span it takes to remove a static mechanical allodynia (SMA) in humans suffering from chronic peripheral neuropathic pain. Forty-three subjects were included in the study and, during somatose...
Fingerprint lines may not directly affect SA-I mechanoreceptor response [0.03%]

Understanding how skin microstructure affects slowly adapting type I (SA-I) mechanoreceptors in encoding edge discontinuities is fundamental to understanding our sense of touch. Skin microstructure, in particular papillary ridges, has been ...

Studies of the visual system suggest that, at an early stage of form processing, a stimulus is represented as a set of contours and that a critical feature of these local contours is their orientation. Here, we characterize the ability of h...
GAP-43 is critical for normal targeting of thalamocortical and corticothalamic, but not trigeminothalamic axons in the whisker barrel system [0.03%]
GAP-43对于正常触须列系统中丘脑皮层和皮层丘脑但不是三叉丘脑轴突的靶向作用至关重要

Mice lacking the growth-associated protein GAP-43 (KO) show disrupted cortical topography and no barrels. Whisker-related patterns of cells are normal in the KO brainstem trigeminal complex (BSTC), while the pattern in KO ventrobasal thalam...
