Mammals use tactile end-organs to perform sensory tasks such as environmental exploration, social interaction, and tactile discrimination. However, cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying tactile transduction in tactile end-organs remain poorly understood. The patch-clamp recording technique may be the most valuable approach for detecting and studying tactile transduction in tactile end-or...

The present article explores tourist attractions that include touch as a significant component of the tourist’s place-related experience. We have chosen to label this phenomenon “tactile tourism”. tradition touching is not new but has been central part experience specific interests for long time. However, despite its frequent and often presence in destinations, few studies tourism research stud...

The paper presents a joint research activity of specialists on digital maps and specialistseducation of the blind. The authors seek to evaluate and develop aspects of interpretation and perception of geospace by modern tactile maps based on 3D printing. There are three newly introduced types of tactile maps (all coloured). Map of type A is a tactile map printed by 3D printing technology (Contex...
