Spike‐Based Neuromorphic Hardware for Dynamic Tactile Perception with a Self‐Powered Mechanoreceptor Array [PDF]

Advanced Science
A self‐powered mechanoreceptor array is demonstrated using four mechanoreceptor cells for recognition of dynamic touch gestures. Each cell consists of a triboelectric nanogenerator (TENG) for touch sensing and a bi‐stable resistor (biristor) for spike ...

Is There a Difference in the Distribution of Mechanoreceptors among the Three Sections of the Anterior Talofibular Ligament?

Medicina, 2023
Background: We investigated whether the distribution of mechanoreceptors in three sections of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) differed. Methods: The ATFL was obtained from 29 ankles of 21 fresh-frozen cadavers and divided into fibular attachment,

Cell anatomy and network input explain differences within but not between leech touch cells at two different locations

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2023
Mechanosensory cells in the leech share several common features with mechanoreceptors in the human glabrous skin. Previous studies showed that the six T (touch) cells in each body segment of the leech are highly variable in their responses to somatic ...

Neuregulin 1 Drives Morphological and Phenotypical Changes in C2C12 Myotubes: Towards De Novo Formation of Intrafusal Fibres In Vitro

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022
Muscle spindles are sensory organs that detect and mediate both static and dynamic muscle stretch and monitor muscle position, through a specialised cell population, termed intrafusal fibres.
