Mechanosensor Channels in Mammalian Somatosensory Neurons

Mechanosensor Channels in Mammalian Somatosensory Neurons

Mechanoreceptive sensory neurons innervating the skin, skeletal muscles andviscera signal both innocuous and noxious information necessary for proprioception, touchand pain. These neurons are responsible for the transduction of mechanical stimuli intoaction potentials that propagate to the central n...
