Cephalopod suction was previously thought to be a product of these creatures’ soft, flexible bodies, which can deform easily ...

A feature of note is the mechanosensory system, and both bilaterians and cnidarians use similar sets of genes in mechanoreceptor development. Unexpectedly, researchers also found that there is not ...

To address this, we propose a neuromorphic approach that fuses tactile signals for material recognition, based on mechanoreceptor physiological responses and finger-surface interaction patterns. The ...

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

SIS patients manifesting more marked hypotension than controls. Thus, vasodepression, possibly initiated by stretch-induced mechanoreceptor activation within upper back and neck muscles, offers a ...

Mechanoreceptor sensory feedback is impaired by pressure induced cutaneous ischemia on the human foot sole and can predict cutaneous microvascular reactivity Erika E. Howe * Michael Apollinaro Leah R.

A vibrating capsule being developed as a medical device to treat obesity by stimulating the sensation of a full stomach appeared safe and effective in animals.

The interpretation of tactile stimuli empowers humans to identify substances, distinguish materials, and engage in tactile communication. For stimulus design in human-computer interaction, objective ...

To start, the researchers coupled the robot with a molecule that recognizes a mechanoreceptor. This made it possible to guide the robot to some of our cells and specifically apply forces to targeted ...

A role for axon–glial interactions and Netrin-G1 signaling in the formation of low-threshold mechanoreceptor end organs ...

This article reports an artificial mechanoreceptor based on an iodide/triiodide (I – /I 3–) electrochemical redox couple in poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) gel electrolyte. The unique feature of this ...
