Encoding of vibrotactile stimuli by mechanoreceptors in rodent glabrous skin

Laura Medlock, Dhekra Al-Basha, Adel Halawa…·Steven A. Prescott

This study investigates the coding properties of low-threshold mechanoreceptors in rodent glabrous skin, showing their heterogeneity and how they encode vibrotactile stimuli through rate and temporal coding.
