5 / 161 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 Effects of camphor and related compounds on slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in the rat sinus hair follicle
This study found that camphor and similar compounds depress neural activity in rat mechanoreceptors, suggesting that their effects may not be mediated through TRP channels.
