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 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 Three-dimensional architecture and linearized mapping of vibrissa follicle afferents
Large-scale reconstructions enhance understanding of vibrissal sensory mapping in the brain.
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 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 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 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 Sensory Reinnervation of Human Skin by Human Neural Stem Cell‒Derived Peripheral Neurons Ex Vivo
Human skin can be reconnected to nerves using stem cells, which may help with skin health and healing.
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 Touch Receptors Undergo Rapid Remodeling in Healthy Skin
Touch sensitivity in mouse skin decreases during hair growth due to changes in touch receptors.
research Neuropathic Pruritus: An Underrecognized and Often Misdiagnosed and Difficult to Treat Medical Condition
Neuropathic pruritus is a commonly overlooked and wrongly diagnosed type of chronic itching that is hard to treat.
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.
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.
research The sensory innervation of primate facial skin. II. Vermilion border and mucosa of lip
Monkey lips have dense sensory nerves similar to those in other skin areas, explaining their sensitivity.
research Nerve-Derived Sonic Hedgehog Defines a Niche for Hair Follicle Stem Cells Capable of Becoming Epidermal Stem Cells
Nerve signals are crucial for hair follicle stem cells to become skin stem cells and help in wound healing.
research TRPA1 Modulates Mechanotransduction in Cutaneous Sensory Neurons
TRPA1 is crucial for mechanical sensitivity in skin sensory neurons.
research Hair Transplantation in Migraine Headache Patients
Some migraine sufferers had no more headaches after getting a hair transplant.
research Neurotrophin-4 modulates the mechanotransducer Cav3.2 T-type calcium current in mice down-hair neurons
Neurotrophin-4 increases calcium current in specific mouse neurons through the PI3K pathway.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Follicle-innervating Aδ-low threshold mechanoreceptors organize through a population-dependent mechanism
Mouse touch-sensitive nerve cells adjust their connections based on competition with other similar cells.
