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

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 review discusses strategies for regenerating cutaneous nerve function in burn patients and highlights the potential role of autologous skin-derived adult stem cells in improving sensory recovery, but reports no new experimental findings.
