Skin receptors convey sensation of texture through vibrations Date: September 30, 2013 Source: University of Chicago Medical Center Summary: New research shows that humans distinguish the ...

New research shows that humans distinguish the difference between fine textures, such as silk or satin, through vibrations, which are picked up by two separate sets of nerve receptors in the skin ...

“The next step was to find out which sensory nerve receptor responds to the ATP released from the keratinocytes during touch stimulation,” says senior author Cheryl Stucky. The team inhibited a ...

Bites to human skin come from female mosquitoes, although some research indicates that males are also attracted to human odors. To find neurons expressing ionotropic receptors in the antennae, the ...

Touching a nerve: How every hair in skin feels touch and how it all gets to the brain. ScienceDaily . Retrieved June 2, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2012 / 01 / 120111103354.htm ...

Two independent sets of nerve receptors in the skin pick up vibrations and relay them to the brain which help humans distinguish the difference between fine textures such as silk or satin, says a ...

Previous research shows that gentle touch feels good because it stimulates nerve receptors in the skin called C-tactile afferents. These respond to soft, slow stroking, and send signals to brain ...

To get a sense of just how incredible Bao’s feat is, consider how your regular sense of touch works: Inside your skin are millions of nerve receptors. These receptors gather information about ...

Scientists have found a reason why some people never seem to get warm while others never seem to feel the cold: some nerve cell receptors deep in the body are stimulated by signals other than ...

In a report on the study, published Feb. 5 in Nature Neuroscience, researchers say the biochemical receptor—known as a G protein-coupled receptor—was present on nerve cells in the lower respiratory ...
