Sensory systems for detecting tactile stimuli have evolved from touch-sensing nerves in invertebrates to complicated tactile end-organs in mammals. endings to open fire slowly adapting impulses. We further demonstrate that Piezo2 and Ca2+-action potentials in Merkel cells are required for behavioral tactile reactions. Our findings provide insights into how tactile end-organs function and have medical… Continue reading Sensory systems for detecting tactile stimuli have evolved from touch-sensing nerves
