Stretch sensitivity of mechanoreceptor neurons in rat hairy skin

open access: yes, 1996
1. Cutaneous mechanoreceptor neurons were recorded in a preparation of isolated rat skin while the skin was stretched with an apparatus that allowed the parameters of tensile stress and strain to be controlled. 2.

Contribution of individual mechanoreceptor sensory neurons to defensive gill-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia

open access: yes, 1978
1. To evaluate the contribution which mechanoreceptor sensory neurons make to the defensive gill-withdrawal reflex we developed an isolated reflex preparation.

The ion channel ASIC1 contributes to visceral but not cutaneous mechanoreceptor function

open access: yes, 2004
Background & aimsVisceral mechanoreceptors are critical for perceived sensations and autonomic reflex control of gastrointestinal function. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying visceral mechanosensation remain poorly defined. Degenerin/epithelial

Stimulus-response relations and stability of mechanoreceptor and motor neurons mediating defensive gill-withdrawal reflex in Aplysia

open access: yes, 1978
1. A weak or moderate-intensity tactile stimulus delivered to the siphon skin of Aplysia californica elicits a defensive reflex withdrawal of the gill and siphon into the mantle cavity.

Efficacy of Mechanoreceptor Rehabilitation on Sensorimotor Recovery by Reducing Visual Dependence in a Patient After Acl Reconstruction Surgery

open access: yes
Background:-Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries usually result in impaired proprioception, muscle weakness, and decreased functional performance even after operative reconstruction.
