The Sensory Neurons of Touch
The somatosensory system decodes a wide range of tactile stimuli and thus endows us with a remarkable capacity for object recognition, texture discrimination, sensory-motor feedback and social exchange. The first step leading to perception of innocuous touch is activation of cutaneous sensory neurons called low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs). Here, we review the properties and functions of ...
متن کاملAdsorbents for TLC Adsorbents for coating TLC plates
302 This chapter gives a detailed description of the adsorbents manufactured by MACHEREY-NAGEL for coating of TLC plates. Especially for quantitative investigations, however, we recommend our ready-to-use layers with these adsorbents, since production of high-quality homogeneous layers for reproducible separations requires intense practical experience in coating techniques, which today is not a...
متن کاملCommunicating by touch--neurons are not alone.
Long-distance cell-cell communication is essential for organ development and function. Whereas neurons communicate at long distances by transferring signals at sites of direct contact (i.e., at synapses), it has been presumed that the only way other cell types signal is by dispersing signals through extracellular fluid--indirectly. Recent evidence from Drosophila suggests that non-neuronal cell...
متن کاملMerkel cells and neurons keep in touch.
The Merkel cell-neurite complex is a unique vertebrate touch receptor comprising two distinct cell types in the skin. Its presence in touch-sensitive skin areas was recognized more than a century ago, but the functions of each cell type in sensory transduction have been unclear. Three recent studies demonstrate that Merkel cells are mechanosensitive cells that function in touch transduction via...
متن کاملAutomatic Developing Chamber for TLC
Statistical Software SigmaStat is a statistical software package that performs such computations as t tests, analyses of variance, correlations, rates and proportions, nonparametric methods, linear and nonlinear regressions, and power and sample size analyses. SigmaStat's procedures are automated and require little statistical knowledge from the user. An "Advise" command helps the user select t...
