A Digital Hardware System for Spiking Network of Tactile Afferents
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020 In the present research, we explore the possibility of utilizing a hardware-based neuromorphic approach to develop a tactile sensory system at the level of first-order afferents, which are slowly adapting type 1 (SA-I) and fast adapting type 1 (FA-I ...

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

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.

Mechanoreceptors of the Posterior Cruciate Ligament [PDF]
Journal of International Medical Research, 2008 The mechanical role of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments in the passive and functional stability of the knee joint has been well documented. Both these knee joint ligaments contain Ruffini, Pacinian, Golgi and free nerve endings with different capabilities of providing the central nervous system with information regarding movement 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

MECHANORECEPTORS OF THE APHID LABIUM [PDF]
Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, 1978 Morphological evidence is provided for a mechanoreceptive function of the labial tip receptors, as well as of two newly described receptors in the stylet groove. Electrophysiological tip recording techniques could not demonstrate a neural response due to chemical stimulation of the tip sensilla, the larger labial hairs or the stylet tips.
