Mechanoreceptor profile of the lateral collateral ligament complex in the human elbow
Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology, 2018 Background: Active restraint for the elbow joint is provided by the soft tissue component, which consists of a musculoligamentous complex. A lesion of the lateral collateral ligament complex (LCLC) is thought to be the primary cause of posterolateral ...

Integration of vibrotactile frequency information beyond the mechanoreceptor channel and somatotopy
Scientific Reports, 2017 A wide variety of tactile sensations arise from the activation of several types of mechanoreceptor-afferent channels scattered all over the body, and their projections create a somatotopic map in the somatosensory cortex.
