Encoding of Tactile Stimuli by Mechanoreceptors and Interneurons of the Medicinal Leech

For many animals processing of tactile information is a crucial task in behavioral contexts like exploration, foraging, and stimulus avoidance. The leech, having infrequent access to food, developed an energy efficient reaction to tactile stimuli, avoiding unnecessary muscle movements: The local bend behavior moves only a small part of the body wall away from an object touching the skin, while ...

Spider mechanoreceptors.

Spiders have highly developed mechanosensory systems, some of which provide access to forms of stimulation alien to our own sensations. Studies of hair-shaped air movement detectors (trichobothria) and tactile sensors have uncovered an outstanding refinement of the processes of stimulus uptake and stimulus transformation, which reflect details of both stimulus physics and behavioral significanc...

Encoding of compressive stress during indentation by slowly adapting type I mechanoreceptors in rat hairy skin.

The mechanical state encoded by slowly adapting type 1 mechanoreceptors (SAI) during indentation was examined using an isolated preparation in a rat model. Skin and its intact innervation were harvested from the medial thigh of the rat hindlimb and placed in a dish, with the corium side down, containing synthetic interstitial fluid. The margins of the skin were coupled to an apparatus that coul...

Mechanoreceptors and central command.

STATIC EXERCISE INCREASES mean arterial pressure, heart rate, and ventilation. Central command and the exercise pressor reflex are the two neural mechanisms causing these responses to static exercise. Central command is defined as the parallel activation of the locomotor and autonomic circuits in the central nervous system that simultaneously increase motor activity as well as arterial pressure...

Orofacial mechanoreceptors in humans: encoding characteristics and responses during natural orofacial behaviors.

We used microneurography to characterize stimulus-encoding properties of low-threshold mechanoreceptive afferents in human orofacial tissues. Signals were recorded from single afferents in the infraorbital, lingual and inferior alveolar nerves while localized, controlled, mechanical stimuli were delivered to the facial skin, lips, oral mucosa and teeth. We likewise analyzed activity in these af...
