Weight Illusion Caused by Sinusoidal Vibration Correlates with Grip Force Adjustment
Applied Sciences, 2023 Our research team previously identified a weight illusion in which a lifted object feels heavy when it continuously presents a sinusoidal vibration to the fingertips. However, the mechanism underlying this illusion remains unknown.

Isolation of human pluripotent stem cell-derived sensory neuron subtypes by immunopanning
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023 Sensory neurons (SNs) detect a wide range of information from the body and the environment that is critical for homeostasis. There are three main subtypes of SNs: nociceptors, mechanoreceptors, and proprioceptors, which express different membrane ...

Mechanoreceptors and Stochastic Resonance
Scholarpedia, 2008 Stochastic Resonance (SR) is a counterintuitive phenomenon whereby noise under appropriate conditions can enhance the detection of weak signals rather than interfering with signal transmission. Originally described in nonlinear physical systems, SR is applicable as well for biological processes that are also frequently nonlinear.

SPLANCHNIC MECHANORECEPTORS IN THE DOG [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1974 Single unit recordings from the splanchnic nerve of the dog have demonstrated the presence of Aδ and C fibres which respond to mechanical stimuli. The units gave tonic discharges in response to maintained mechanical stimuli and the majority had punctate mechanosensitive sites which occurred at vascular divisions.

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 ...

The subgenual organ complex in the cave cricket Troglophilus neglectus (Orthoptera: Rhaphidophoridae): comparative innervation and sensory evolution [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2014 Comparative studies of the organization of nervous systems and sensory organs can reveal their evolution and specific adaptations. In the forelegs of some Ensifera (including crickets and tettigoniids), tympanal hearing organs are located in close ...

Mechanosensitivity in the enteric nervous system
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2015 The enteric nervous system (ENS) autonomously controls gut muscle activity. Mechanosensitive enteric neurons (MEN) initiate reflex activity by responding to mechanical deformation of the gastrointestinal wall.

Initial Variability and Time-Dependent Changes of Neuronal Response Features Are Cell-Type-Specific
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022 Different cell types are commonly defined by their distinct response features. But several studies proved substantial variability between cells of the same type, suggesting rather the appraisal of response feature distributions than a limitation to ...
