Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2016 Stimulation of high threshold mechanical nociceptors on the skin can modulate efferent sympathetic outflow. Whether low threshold mechanoreceptors from glabrous skin are similarly capable of modulating autonomic outflow is unclear. Therefore, the purpose

Precise and stable edge orientation signaling by human first-order tactile neurons
eLife, 2022 Fast-adapting type 1 (FA-1) and slow-adapting type 1 (SA-1) first-order neurons in the human tactile system have distal axons that branch in the skin and form many transduction sites, yielding receptive fields with many highly sensitive zones or ...

C-tactile (CT) afferents: evidence of their function from microneurography studies in humans
, 2022 International audienceC-tactile (CT) afferents are low-threshold mechanoreceptors present in the skin of humans and are thought to convey positive and pleasant aspects of touch, due to their optimal firing during gentle, caress-like contact.

Topical anesthetic before microneurography decreases pain without affecting sympathetic traffic
, 2000 Pain associated with the microneurography procedure varies among human research volunteers, and may influence baseline sympathetic neural activity. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and effects of applying a topical anesthetic prior ...

Sympathetic regulation of vascular function in health and disease
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 The sympathetic nervous system is known to play a pivotal role in short- and long-term regulation of different functions of the cardiovascular system. In the past decades increasing evidence demonstrated that sympathetic neural control is involved not ...

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.This scheme illustrates the main results of the present study showing an increase in circulating free fatty acids (FFA) that are likely to be related to several mechanisms like decrease in FFA insulin sensitivity and increase in FFA production. Significant changes are labelled in white, and non‐significant or hypothesis are labelled in pale green ...
