Effects of controlling anterior tibial translation preserve sensory-motor function and mechanoreceptor morphology following anterior cruciate ligament injury in rats [PDF]
Scientific ReportsAnterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries impair mechanical stability and proprioceptive signaling. Although conventional reconstruction techniques aim to restore joint stability, they often provide limited support for sensory recovery.

Skin and Mechanoreceptor Contribution to Tactile Input for Perception: A Review of Simulation Models
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 We review four current computational models that simulate the response of mechanoreceptors in the glabrous skin to tactile stimulation. The aim is to inform researchers in psychology, sensorimotor science and robotics who may want to implement this type ...

Knowing when to stick: touch receptors found in the remora adhesive disc [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Remoras are fishes that piggyback onto larger marine fauna via an adhesive disc to increase locomotor efficiency, likelihood of finding mates and access to prey.
