Sensory Functions of the Skin in Primates: With Special by Y. Zotterman,Yngve Zotterman

By Y. Zotterman,Yngve Zotterman

Sensory services of the outside in Primates: With precise connection with guy bargains with sensory capabilities of the outside in primates, relatively people. The discussions are geared up round 3 issues: mechanoreception, thermoception, and nociception.

Comprised of forty three chapters, this quantity starts off with an in depth therapy of the usual and paranatural stimulation of sensory receptors, by means of an research of a idea of sympathetic-sensory coupling. The reader is then brought to the "receptripse", the desmosome-like lamellar-axonal junction subserving mechano-electric transduction and inducing the sympathetic activities at the pacinian sensor. next chapters specialise in variations in timing of corticocuneate and corticogracile activities; association and neuronal morphology of the spinocervical tract; epidermis mechanoreceptors within the human hand; and mobile mechanisms within the parietal cortex in alert monkeys. The publication additionally examines the reaction of primary trigeminal neurons to cutaneous thermal stimulation and the position of thermoreceptors in thermoregulation.

This monograph may be of curiosity to experts in fields starting from anatomy and biology to body structure and neurophysiology.
