Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 Afferent neurons and their mechanoreceptors provide critical sensory feedback for gait. The anatomical distribution and density of afferents and mechanoreceptors influence sensory feedback, as does mechanoreceptor function.

Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2018 It is difficult to experimentally observe the influence of differences in individual skin properties of human fingers on tactile perceptions. During subjective experiments, many parameters, such as skin properties, the transmittance of nerve signals, and

Ultrastructural evidence of a mechanosensory function of scale organs (sensilla) in sea snakes (Hydrophiinae) [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2019 The evolution of epidermal scales was a major innovation in lepidosaurs, providing a barrier to dehydration and physical stress, while functioning as a sensitive interface for detecting mechanical stimuli in the environment.

The evolution of scale sensilla in the transition from land to sea in elapid snakes [PDF]
Open Biology, 2016 Scale sensilla are small tactile mechanosensory organs located on the head scales of many squamate reptiles (lizards and snakes). In sea snakes and sea kraits (Elapidae: Hydrophiinae), these scale organs are presumptive scale sensilla that purportedly ...

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 ...

RETouching upon Mechanoreceptors [PDF]
Neuron, 2009 The rapidly adapting (RA) low-threshold mechanoreceptors respond to movement of the skin and vibration and are critical for the perception of texture and shape. In this issue of Neuron, two papers (Bourane et al. and Luo et al.) demonstrate that early-born Ret+ sensory neurons are RA mechanoreceptors, whose peripheral nerve terminals are associated ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.This article presents an experimental and numerical modal investigation of composite sandwich structures using surfboards as model systems. By comparing different core materials and reinforcement strategies, the study demonstrates how local stiffeners influence vibrational response and introduce characteristic modal features, highlighting modal ...

Identification of the visceral pain pathway activated by noxious colorectal distension in mice
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2011 In patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), visceral pain is evoked more readily following distension of the colorectum. However, the identity of extrinsic afferent nerve pathway that detects and transmits visceral pain from the colorectum to the ...
