30 / 365 resultsresearch Relationships between hair-follicle afferent axons and glycine-immunoreactive profiles in cat spinal dorsal horn
Aδ-LTMRs have complex synapses with glycine, while Aβ-LTMRs have simpler ones.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
Young adults have about 230,000 tactile nerve fibers, decreasing 5-8% per decade with age.
research Tactile innervation densities across the whole body
The skin has about 230,000 touch-sensitive nerve fibers, with high concentrations in the hands and face.
research Inhibitory amino acid transmitters associated with axons in presynaptic apposition to cutaneous primary afferent axons in the cat spinal cord
Presynaptic inhibition of certain nerve fibers in cats is mainly controlled by GABA and glycine.
research Correlation of monosynaptic field potentials evoked by single action potentials in single primary afferent axons and their bouton distributions in the dorsal horn
The study found that nerve signals are stronger when there are more connection points, but not necessarily denser, along the nerve's path in the spine.
research Lack of Evidence for Sprouting of Aβ Afferents into the Superficial Laminas of the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn after Nerve Section
Aβ afferents do not sprout into the superficial spinal cord layers after nerve injury.
research Robust coupling between the C‐tactile afferent and the hair follicle in humans
C-tactile nerves are sensitive to hair movement.
research Neural Mechanisms of Hair Growth Control
Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Sensitive skin
Sensitive skin is often caused by nerve fibers and environmental factors, and can be managed with mild skincare and professional advice.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research C‐tactile afferents: The mystery of human emotional touch has been hidden hair‐deep
C-tactile afferents are linked to emotional touch and social bonding through hair movement.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Diversification and Specialization of Touch Receptors in Skin
Skin has specialized touch receptors that can tell different sensations apart.
research Mast cell deficient and neurokinin-1 receptor knockout mice are protected from stress-induced hair growth inhibition
Certain mice without specific receptors or mast cells don't lose hair from stress.
research Sensations Evoked by Microstimulation of Single Mechanoreceptive Afferents Innervating the Human Face and Mouth
Microstimulation of certain facial and mouth nerves can evoke specific sensations, while deeper nerves may require multiple stimulations to affect perception.
research Three-dimensional architecture and linearized mapping of vibrissa follicle afferents
Large-scale reconstructions enhance understanding of vibrissal sensory mapping in the brain.
research Combined Systemic and Cutaneous Ovalbumin–Aluminum Sensitization Triggers Thermal Hyperalgesia, Spinal Gliosis, and Nociceptive Nerve Fibers Sprouting in Mice
Ovalbumin–aluminum sensitization causes increased pain sensitivity and nerve changes in mice.
research Sensory innervation of the hairs of the rat hindlimb: A light microscopic analysis
Different types of hairs on a rat's hindlimb have varying levels and patterns of nerve innervation.
research Three-dimensional analyses of touch domes in the hairy skin of the cat paw reveal morphological substrates for complex sensory processing
Cat paws have complex touch sensors for detailed sensory processing.
research The Pathological Culprit of Neuropathic Skin Pain in Long COVID-19 Patients: A Case Series
Long COVID-19 patients with skin pain might have a nerve condition that responds to a medication called gabapentin.
research The existence of a linear system consisting of sympathetic endings in rat skin
Rat skin has a linear system of nerve fibers linked to hair follicles and muscles.
research Montagna Symposium 2016—The Skin: Our Sensory Organ for Itch, Pain, Touch, and Pleasure
The symposium highlighted the skin's role in sensing itch, pain, touch, and pleasure, and discussed new research and techniques for understanding and treating these sensations.
research Synaptic‐like vesicles and candidate transduction channels in mechanosensory terminals
SLVs help maintain muscle stretch sensitivity and could aid in treating hypertension and muscle spasticity.
research Promoting axonal regeneration through exosomes: An update of recent findings on exosomal PTEN and mTOR modifiers
Exosomes help nerve fibers grow by affecting specific cell signaling pathways.
research Tactile sensitivity in the rat: a correlation between receptor structure and function
Rats have different touch receptors in their paws that help with movement and handling objects.

The cuneate nucleus has two main neuron types: relay neurons and interneurons.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Diversity of vibrissal follicle anatomy in cetaceans
Different whale and dolphin species have unique whisker follicle structures, suggesting they might use their whiskers in various ways.
