Synchrony within Aβ mechanoreceptor subtypes governs signal propagation to primary somatosensory cortex
W. Liu, Andrew E. Worthy, Alan J. Emanuel
The paper investigates how synchrony in Aβ mechanoreceptor subtypes affects signal propagation to primary somatosory cortex, finding that synchronous activation of SAI-LTMRs is critical for sustained cortical responses, while RAI-LTMRs produce robust responses regardless of synchrony.
