Each Pacinian corpuscle consists of a single nerve ending ... in the inferior colliculus responded more strongly to combined tactile-auditory stimulation than to either one alone," said Ginty.

On their own, Pacinian corpuscles have the lowest spatial resolution ... In order to test their hypothesis, they created a tactile sensor that closely mimics the actions of our fingers.

The touch receptor known as the Pacinian corpuscle is incredibly sensitive ... the idea of how these channels work within the tactile sensory system." Birznieks and his team recruited healthy ...

The researchers explore the basis for this tactile illusion and show that texture ... The responses of a particular class of nerve fibers - Pacinian corpuscle-associated (PC) nerve fibers ...

but a research team from Harvard Medical School has recently shown that Krause corpuscles may be 'vibration and tactile sensors important for reproductive behavior.' Krause corpuscles are capsule ...
