Single human fingertip mechanoreceptive afferents simultaneously encode multidimensional aspects of touch

Victoria Ashley Lang, Helena Backlund Wasling, Rochelle Ackerley, Johan Wessberg

The paper studies how different mechanoreceptor afferents encode multiple aspects of touch during sliding contact, showing that FA-1 afferents respond to force, velocity, and spatial period, while SA-1 afferents mainly respond to force.

A topographical and physiological exploration of C-tactile afferents and their response to menthol and histamine.

Line S. Löken, Helena Backlund Wasling, Håkan Olausson, Francis P McGlone, Johan Wessberg

The paper investigates the distribution and physiological properties of C-tactile afferents in human arm and leg nerves, finding they are more sparse in the lower leg and insensitive to menthol and histamine.
