Our sense of touch emerges from an array of mechanosensory structures residing within the
fabric of our skin. These tactile end organ structures convert innocuous forces acting on the …

Traditionally, different classes of cutaneous mechanoreceptive afferents are ascribed
different and largely non-overlapping functional roles (for example texture or motion) …

Human Hand Function is a multidisciplinary book that reviews the sensory and motor
aspects of normal hand function from both neurophysiological and behavioral perspectives …

Sensory corpuscles of human skin are terminals of primary mechanoreceptive neurons
associated with non-neuronal cells that function as low-threshold mechanoreceptors …

Decline of tactile sensation associated with ageing depends on modifications in skin and
both central and peripheral nervous systems. At present, age‐related changes in the …

Complex regional pain syndromes (CRPS, type I and type II) are devastating conditions that
can occur following soft tissue (CRPS type I) or nerve (CRPS type II) injury. CRPS type I …

How specific aspects of a stimulus are encoded at different stages of neural processing is a
critical question in sensory neuroscience. In the present study, we investigated the neural …

Only after injury, or perhaps prolonged exposure to cold that is sufficient to numb the fingers,
do we suddenly appreciate the complex neural mechanisms that underlie our effortless …

A comprehensive systems overview of sensory and reward processing in the brain, this book
explores what reward processing can teach us about the senses and what sensory …
