npj Flexible Electronics, 2022 Human skin contains slowly adaptive (SA) and rapidly adaptive (RA) mechanoreceptors, which respond differently to external stimuli. Based on human tactile perception principles, the fabrication of a self-powered electronic skin (e-skin) that ...

Mechanoreceptors and Stochastic Resonance
Scholarpedia, 2008 Stochastic Resonance (SR) is a counterintuitive phenomenon whereby noise under appropriate conditions can enhance the detection of weak signals rather than interfering with signal transmission. Originally described in nonlinear physical systems, SR is applicable as well for biological processes that are also frequently nonlinear.

SPLANCHNIC MECHANORECEPTORS IN THE DOG [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology and Cognate Medical Sciences, 1974 Single unit recordings from the splanchnic nerve of the dog have demonstrated the presence of Aδ and C fibres which respond to mechanical stimuli. The units gave tonic discharges in response to maintained mechanical stimuli and the majority had punctate mechanosensitive sites which occurred at vascular divisions.

Synthetic and Bio-Artificial Tactile Sensing: A Review
Sensors, 2013 This paper reviews the state of the art of artificial tactile sensing, with a particular focus on bio-hybrid and fully-biological approaches. To this aim, the study of physiology of the human sense of touch and of the coding mechanisms of tactile ...

MECHANORECEPTORS OF THE RABBIT DUODENUM [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Physiology, 1984 A preparation is described which allowed the investigation of single‐unit afferent activity in non‐myelinated mesenteric nerves in urethane‐anaesthetized rabbits. Three classes of mechano‐receptors were isolated and were located in the muscularis externa (n = 17), the serosa (n = 5) and the mesentery (n = 2).

Modelling the mechanoreceptor's dynamic behaviour [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, 2015 AbstractAll sensory receptors adapt, i.e. they constantly adjust their sensitivity to external stimuli to match the current demands of the natural environment. Electrophysiological responses of sensory receptors from widely different modalities seem to exhibit common features related to adaptation, and these features can be used to examine the ...

Journal of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, 2018 Background Proprioception is a specialized sensory modality encompassing the movement of the joint and its position in space. Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) does not always yield expected outcome, suggesting that successful ...
