No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

Recent research identifies 16 human nerve cell types, revealing complex sensory responses and challenging traditional views ...

No less than 16 different types of nerve cells have been identified by scientists in a new study on the human sense of touch.

Nerve cells that had similar gene expression profiles were grouped together as one sensory nerve cell type. In this way, they ...

Researchers identified 16 distinct types of nerve cells involved in human touch and compared them with those in mice and macaques, showing both shared and unique traits.

The sensory nerve cell body resides in the ganglion. The anterior (ventral) horn contains the motor cell body and develops into the ventral motor roots and autonomic nerve fibers (Fig 1).

Scientists at the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA have uncovered an ...

They are studying both mice and lab-grown nerve cells. The researchers speculate that its secondary function in dorsal root ganglion neurons, which transmit sensory signals from skin-proximal ...

The first of these is injury to a sensory nerve innervating a noncritical area ... Static 2-PD is perceived primarily through the Merkel cell, which is slowly adapting and thus well-suited ...
