The influence of force on the encoding and perception of affective touch

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend By combining perceptual experiments with neuronal recordings, we obtained ratings of perceived pleasantness and intensity during stroking touch applied at different velocities and forces and we recorded the single‐unit activity from seven C‐low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (C‐LTMRs) during similar tactile stimulation. We found that

Peripheral regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors is limited despite activation of regenerative transcriptional pathways

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The regeneration of Aβ low‐threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ‐LTMRs), sensory neurons responsible for discriminative touch, has not previously been explored. Here, we took advantage of the selective expression of Calb1 in Aβ‐LTMRs to generate two genetic mouse models for studying their regenerative response after nerve injury.

Making sense of touch: Spatial tactile cues promote efficient visuo‐somatosensory integration and restore motor accuracy under sensory conflict

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mirror‐reversed vision introduces a spatial discrepancy between visual and somatosensory information about hand position during finger tracing. The informational context of tactile cues significantly modulated the consequences of this visuo‐somatosensory conflict.

Feedforward Pre‐Activation of Lateral Ankle Muscles Is Insufficient Against Excessive Ankle Inversion During Perturbation in Individuals With Chronic Ankle Instability

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, Volume 19, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to compare ankle kinematics and muscle activation between individuals with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI), both prior to and following landing on an inversion trapdoor during walking, with a particular focus on the feedforward pre‐activation of lateral ankle muscles and the consequent ankle kinematics ...

Bioinspired Mechanosensitive Organic Artificial Neuron With Programmable Excitatory and Inhibitory Responses via Nonlinear Mechano‐Electrochemical Coupling

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 61, 2 November 2026.
Organic artificial neurons couple mechanical deformation and ionic environments through nonlinear mechano‐electrochemical dynamics. Mechanical strain and electrolyte concentration reshape their nonlinear electrical characteristics, programming excitatory or inhibitory spiking responses that mimic mechanosensitive biological neurons and enable ...
