Touch: The Skin – Foundations of Neuroscience
Touch can come in many forms: pressure, vibration, stretch, motion, edges, points, etc. Receptors in the skin allow for perception of these different characteristics, and when this information is combined in the central nervous system, we are able to determine the location, strength, duration, movement, shape, and texture of the object interacting with the skin.
Touch: The Skin – Foundations of Neuroscience Skip to content Key Takeaways Test Yourself Video Lecture Touch can come in many forms: pressure, vibration, stretch, motion, edges, points, etc. Receptors in the skin allow for perception of these different characteristics, and when this information is combined in the central nervous system, we are able to determine the location, strength, duration, movement, shape, and texture of the object interacting with the skin. This chapter explores the diversity of tactile receptors and their unique properties that enable the rich sensory experience
