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.

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.

The properties of a slowly adapting mechanoreceptor in the skin of the cat [PDF]
, 1970 In this investigation a slowly adapting mechanoreceptor in the hairy skin of the cat was investigated by electrophysiological techniques. The aim was to study the patterns of discharge in the primary afferent fibre to delicately controlled displacement ...

Human hands have the unique ability to classify material properties, such as hardness, using mechanoreceptors and tactile information. Previous studies have demonstrated hardness classification using Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) sensors but lacked ...

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 ...

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 Short-term habituation (STH) is the decrease in behavioral responding observed during repeated stimulation at regular intervals. For siphon-elicited siphon withdrawal in Aplysia (S-SWR), we previously showed that the amplitude of responses measured in ...
