Mechanosensory encoding in ex vivo muscle–nerve preparations

Experimental Physiology
Our objective was to evaluate an ex vivo muscle–nerve preparation used to study mechanosensory signalling by low threshold mechanosensory receptors (LTMRs).

The Efficiency of Sensory Information Coding by Mechanoreceptor Neurons [PDF]

, 1997
Most sensory systems encode external signals into action potentials for transmission to the central nervous system, but little is known about the cost or efficiency of this encoding. We measured the information capacity at three stages of encoding in the

Peripheral mechanoreceptor activation modulates mesolimbic GABA and dopamine neurons and ameliorates withdrawal symptoms in ethanol dependent rats [PDF]

, 2022
Peripheral MStim provided protection against chronic EtOH withdrawal symptoms and dependence-induced insensitivity of ventral tegmental area (VTA) GABA neurons to ethanol reintroduction.

Investigating the use of low-cost tactile sensor in emulating mechanoreceptor patterns and in hardness-based classification

Tactile sensors and material classification are important aspects of improving robotics grasping. Previously many different tactile sensors and classification have been introduced.

Mechanoreceptors in the nose

Egyptian Journal of Ear, Nose, Throat and Allied Sciences, 2015
AbstractNasal obstruction is a common symptom. Usually it is due to the presence of enlarged inferior turbinates, adenoid hypertrophy or pathological nasal mass. The most commonly encountered is nasal polyp. The presence of a physically obstructing mass causing the symptom can be easily explained.

Investigating mechanoreceptor variability and morphometric proxies in rhesus macaques: Implications for primate precision touch studies

The origin of primates has long been associated with an increased emphasis on manual grasping and touch. Precision touch, facilitated by specialized mechanoreceptors in glabrous skin, provides critical sensory feedback for grasping-related tasks and ...

Morphology and ultrastructure of chemosensory sensilla of labio-maxillary complex in the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Col.: Chrysomelidae), larvae [PDF]

نامه انجمن حشره‌شناسی ایران, 2008
The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is a destructive insect pest of potato and other solanaceous crops. The type, number and distribution of sensory receptors on the labio-maxillary complex of larvae were studied using the ...

Mechanoreceptor of the Hearing Organ

American Journal of Biomedical Science & Research
The receptor that receives auditory sensations from the outside world is part of the hearing organ, it is an exteroreceptor. Receiving signals at a distance, it is a telereceptor. It is stimulated by sound wave stimuli, which are mechanical energy - it is a mechanoreceptor.
