Texture sensation through the fingertips and the whiskers.
Diamond ME. Diamond ME. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2010 Jun;20(3):319-27. doi: 10.1016/j.conb.2010.03.004. Epub 2010 Apr 18. Curr Opin Neurobiol. 2010. PMID: 20403683 Review.
Texture sensation in primates, through the fingertips, and in rats, through the whiskers, is rapid and accurate. ...Fine textures are sensed by a motion signal - when the fingertip translates across the surface, excitation of rapidly adap …

Merkel disc is a serotonergic synapse in the epidermis for transmitting tactile signals in mammals.
Chang W, Kanda H, Ikeda R, Ling J, DeBerry JJ, Gu JG. Chang W, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2016 Sep 13;113(37):E5491-500. doi: 10.1073/pnas.1610176113. Epub 2016 Aug 29. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2016. PMID: 27573850 Free PMC article.
The Merkel disc, a main type of tactile end organ consisting of Merkel cells (MCs) and Abeta-afferent endings, are highly abundant in fingertips, touch domes, and whisker hair follicles of mammals. The Merkel disc has high tactile acuity for an object's physi …

Epidermal Merkel cells are mechanosensory cells that tune mammalian touch receptors.
Maksimovic S, Nakatani M, Baba Y, Nelson AM, Marshall KL, Wellnitz SA, Firozi P, Woo SH, Ranade S, Patapoutian A, Lumpkin EA. Maksimovic S, et al. Nature. 2014 May 29;509(7502):617-21. doi: 10.1038/nature13250. Epub 2014 Apr 6. Nature. 2014. PMID: 24717432 Free PMC article.
Terminal specializations are thought to function as passive mechanical filters analogous to the cochlea's basilar membrane, which deconstructs complex sounds into tones that are transduced by mechanosensory hair cells. ...These complexes, which encode spatial features such …
