Mammalian touch receptors have evolved to detect different features, enhancing our ability to perform various tasks and interact socially.
research The Functional Organization of Cutaneous Low-Threshold Mechanosensory Neurons
Different hair follicles in the skin are innervated by unique combinations of mechanosensory neurons, crucial for touch sensation.
research Delta Opioid Receptors Presynaptically Regulate Cutaneous Mechanosensory Neuron Input to the Spinal Cord Dorsal Horn
Delta opioid receptors help regulate touch sensation by reducing neurotransmitter release in the spinal cord.
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.

The brain resists updating its perception of gradual appearance changes, like hair loss, due to its preference for stability and reliance on an internal model. This delay in perception can make changes feel sudden once the brain finally updates its model.
community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain
The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
community Why did this recent research paper from professor Tsuji lab in Japan largely go unnoticed by this sub? Isn't this discovery huge? (hair cloning)
A recent discovery in hair cloning identified a previously unknown cell type essential for hair follicle growth, which could potentially make lab-grown hair viable if translated to humans. However, skepticism remains due to past delays and the challenges of replicating results in humans and making the process affordable.
community 21, female, diagnosed with MPB. What do I do?
A 21-year-old woman diagnosed with male pattern baldness (MPB) who is considering treatments such as spironolactone, minoxidil and finasteride to address her hair loss. The user also discusses potential solutions for concealing the appearance of her thinning hair, such as wigs or haircuts.
community For the ladies: Spironolactone for FPHL
A 34 year old female with androgenic alopecia who has tried treatments such as Spironolactone, Desogen, Minoxidil and Finasteride in order to address her hair loss. It also details the experiences of other women taking Spironolactone for Female Pattern Hair Loss (FPHL).
