Spiders have highly developed mechanosensory systems, some of which provide access to forms of stimulation alien to our own sensations. Studies of hair-shaped air movement detectors (trichobothria) and tactile sensors have uncovered an outstanding refinement of the processes of stimulus uptake and stimulus transformation, which reflect details of both ...

Airway mechanoreceptor deactivation
Journal of Applied Physiology, 2007Airway sensors play an important role in control of breathing. Recently, it was found that pulmonary slowly adapting stretch receptors (SARs) cease after a brief excitation following sodium pump blockade by ouabain. This deactivation can be explained by overexcitation.

Cutaneous mechanoreceptor simulator
2012 IEEE 3rd International Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom), 2012This paper describes the design and implementation of a software system, which is capable of simulating action potentials frequency produced by four different types of cutaneous mechanoreceptors. For the production of action potentials, the system uses a mathematical model based on studies on the fields of neurophysiology and neuroscience.

Functional Organization of Mechanoreceptors
1976Publisher Summary This chapter describes post-hyperpolarizing responses in Pacinian corpuscles recorded by conventional electrophysiological techniques. With post-hyperpolarizing responses, thresholds for impulse activity are found to be lower than otherwise.

1. The response properties of 39 periodontal ligament mechanoreceptors (PDLMs) and 12 intradental mechanoreceptors (IMs) related to the intact mandibular canine tooth were isolated by extracellular recording methods from the ipsilateral trigeminal semilunar ganglion. 2.

Mechanoreceptors in articular tissues
American Journal of Anatomy, 1988AbstractThe morphology, distribution, and function of mechanoreceptors in joint capsules, ligaments, knee‐joint menisci, and articular disks of the temporomandibular joints of animals, including humans, have been reviewed. In addition to free nerve endings, three types of joint receptors are present in most animal joints: (1) a Ruffini‐like receptor ...

Biophysical studies of mechanoreceptors
Journal of Applied Physiology, 1986Mechanoreception can be viewed as a series of sequential mechanical and ionic processes that take place in mechanosensitive end organs and in the terminals of the nerves that innervate them. Stimuli act on a transducer after being transmitted through some material having a combination of elastic and viscoelastic properties.
