人体皮肤具有多种机械性刺激感受器（Mechanoreceptors），其中包括慢适应感受器（Slow adapting mechanoreceptors）和快适应感受器（Fast adapting mechanoreceptors ...

A study led by Nikita Komarov and Simon Sprecher at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland, has discovered neurons in the ...

For sound pressure levels on the skin to be felt, they must be greater than the mechanical thresholds of the mechanoreceptors as outlined in figure 1. Fig. 1: Dashed lines represent sensitivity ...

The recent Nobel prize-winning discovery of cellular mechanoreceptors, receptors that are triggered to produce chemical signals when a physical force is applied to them, has opened a new frontier to ...

The design mimics the spatial distribution of mechanoreceptors found in human skin. Human skin is covered in a dense network of specialized cells called mechanoreceptors.

Mechanoreceptors sense the vibrations, and send signals to the brain. It turns out that the vibrotactile sense of the hearing-impaired is more pronounced than that of people with normal hearing, ...

One of the genes responsible for the Venus flytrap’s closing mechanism has been identified, representing a breakthrough in the understanding of plant mechanoreceptors. The infamous Venus flytrap – the ...
