This study estimates that young adults have about 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervating their skin, with density varying by region and decreasing with age.

This study estimates that approximately 230,000 tactile afferent fibers innervate the human body's skin, with varying densities across different regions correlating with spatial acuity and hair follicle density.

This review discusses the complex effects of testosterone on the brain, emphasizing sex differences, and reports no clinical results; the authors highlight the inconsistencies in current study findings.

In this study, researchers found that the glabrous skin of the rat forelimb contains sparse Meissner corpuscles and Merkel complexes, with more slowly adapting afferents in the palm and rapidly adapting afferents in the digit extremity.

This study found that TRPA1-deficient mice exhibited normal cold sensitivity but had decreased mechanical response in nociceptors, suggesting TRPA1's role in mechanotransduction.

This review discusses the long-term complications of COVID-19, known as long COVID or PASC, and emphasizes the need to improve awareness and management strategies but reports no new clinical findings.

This paper explores how hair functions as a geographical lens to redefine the body's borders, influencing perceptions of identity and power.

This review discusses the safety of dermatological medications used during pregnancy, highlighting that retinoids have strong teratogenic risks and should be used with caution; it reports no new clinical results.

This paper highlights the need for a comprehensive red ginseng monograph to provide standardized information on its components, certified functionality, efficacy, action mechanisms, and safety, especially given its widespread use as a health functional food in South Korea and interest in its benefits worldwide.

This paper argues that the cycling hair follicle serves as a valuable model for systems biology research, highlighting its potential for translational medicine.

This article describes the Frontiers journal series, highlighting its open-access approach and tiered publishing system, but it presents no new empirical findings.

This review discusses the use of spinal fMRI to investigate the brainstem and spinal cord and highlights its potential for understanding functional integration, but it reports no new experimental results.

In this study, fMRI results suggested that mechanical stimulation evoked a stronger prickle sensation comprising both pain and itch on hairy skin compared to glabrous skin.

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.

This study found that robotic training with the Ekso-GT significantly improved body representation and quality of life in spinal cord injury patients compared to conventional physical therapy.

In this study, patients with post-COVID syndrome who were admitted to RICU were more likely to develop mood disorders compared to those admitted to ICU.

This study found that iron therapy improved nonhematological symptoms and cognitive function in women with iron deficiency anemia, highlighting the need for attention to these symptoms in improving quality of life.

This study hypothesizes that the curling of hair may result from the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle, contributing to the diverse types of curly hair.

This study hypothesizes that curly hair is shaped by the contraction of the Arrector Pili Muscle within the follicle, potentially modifiable through muscle-relaxing treatments, but further research is needed to confirm this mechanism.

This article reviews the potential causes of post-COVID telogen effluvium, attributing it to both inflammatory responses to SARS-CoV-2 and psychosocial stress, and suggests that hair recovery may occur without specific treatment.

This review discusses advances in understanding tickling sensations and proposes that knismesis hypersensitivity in autism spectrum disorder may be due to impaired sensory integration.

This case study reports a patient with post-COVID-19 diffuse alopecia who experienced gradual hair recovery to near pre-infection levels within seven months.

This review discusses the variety of skin changes and diseases that can occur during pregnancy, categorizing them into physiological changes, non-specific alterations, and pregnancy-specific dermatoses, and reports no clinical results.

The abstract for this research is not provided, so results or conclusions from this study are not available.

This overview discusses the mind-body problem and suggests that the brain may be intrinsically part of the mind, processing abstract data without direct interaction, but reports no new research results.

This collection of reviews, edited by Ken Lukowiak and Janis Weeks, explores diverse sensory systems across species, including olfaction, echolocation, magnetoreception, and visual adaptations, without presenting new experimental results.

This study presents a two-photon imaging method to visualize low-threshold mechanoreceptor axon terminals in live mouse forepaw skin, enabling repeated high-resolution imaging to study sensory circuits during development and adulthood.

This study found that psychological and social reporting after trauma with scarring can indicate a person's reaction and susceptibility to psychopathology.

This study found that precision 40Hz gamma-transcranial alternating current stimulation significantly improved negative and cognitive symptoms in patients with schizophrenia compared to a sham group, suggesting promising potential for this neuromodulation technique in treating these symptoms.
