5 / 189 resultsresearch KCNQ Potassium Channels Modulate Sensitivity of Skin Down-hair (D-hair) Mechanoreceptors
In this study, researchers observed that knocking out KCNQ3 in mice increased firing frequencies in response to stimuli, particularly at slow mechanical indentation velocities, indicating a role in mechanosensory neuron sensitivity.
research Three-dimensional microanatomy of mechanoreceptors and their possible mechanism of sensory transduction.
This study proposes that the terminal tuft structure in sensory nerve endings, involving Schwann cell processes and axon fingers, potentially plays a role in mechano-electric transduction in rats.
research Follicle-innervating Aδ-low threshold mechanoreceptors organize through a population-dependent mechanism
This study found that in mice, competition for hair follicles guides the organization of follicle-innervating LTMR neurons during early development, with different neuronal subtypes showing varying adaptive responses to increased neuron populations.
research Sensations Evoked by Microstimulation of Single Mechanoreceptive Afferents Innervating the Human Face and Mouth
This study observed that electrical stimulation of specific mechanoreceptive afferents in the orofacial region can evoke sensations consistent with their response properties, while others may require multiple afferents to access perceptual levels.
