Touch Receptor-Derived Sensory Information Alleviates Acute Pain Signaling and Fine-Tunes Nociceptive Reflex Coordination
Painful mechanical stimuli activate multiple peripheral sensory afferent subtypes simultaneously, including nociceptors and low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs). Using an optogenetic approach, we demonstrate that LTMRs do not solely serve as touch receptors but also play an important role in acute pain signaling. We show that selective activation of neuropeptide Y receptor-2-expressing (Npy2r...
متن کاملTangential torque effects on the control of grip forces when holding objects with a precision grip.
When we manipulate small objects, our fingertips are generally subjected to tangential torques about the axis normal to the grasp surface in addition to linear forces tangential to the grasp surface. Tangential torques can arise because the normal force is distributed across the contact area rather than focused at a point. We investigated the effects of tangential torques and tangential forces ...
متن کاملTimeless tunes
Multiple structural, biochemical and in vivo studies have solidified the role that histone acetyltransferases (HATs) play in regulation of the p53 pathway. 1 HATs are known to modulate p53 functions in many ways, from regulating its stability to promoting acetyla-tion-dependent interactions with DnA as well as various co-factors and chromatin modi-fiers. 1 Of these, p300, CBP, PCAF and Tip60 ar...

while inhibiting others through these second messenger Odors in our natural and urban world (e.g., fragrances pathways, that single odorants can activate different of food, wines, flowers, or perfumes) are complex conductances in different neurons from the same aniblends of volatile compounds. Humans can distinguish mal, and that a single ORN can be excited by one odor hundreds of thousands of ...
متن کاملMuscular Torque Can Explain Biases in Haptic Length Perception: A Model Study on the Radial-Tangential Illusion
In haptic length perception biases occur that have previously been shown to depend on stimulus orientation and stimulus length. We propose that these biases arise from the muscular torque needed to counteract the gravitational forces acting on the arm. In a model study, we founded this hypothesis by showing that differences in muscular torque can indeed explain the pattern of biases obtained in...
