You probably know how your ears hear, or how your eyes see, but what do you really know about touch? How does it work? What happens in the brain when you're poked? How does #physicalcontact work?

Thanks to #coronavirus we’re all feeling #touchdeprivation these days while we stay at home. A friend of mine casually mentioned he'd not touched someone in two months, and that got me thinking about physical #touch! How does it work? What physically happens in our body when we touch another person, or a desk, or a blanket? Where did this sense come from, and does every organism have this ability? What cells make our skin so sensitive, and what happens in our brain when we come in contact with things?

You'll get all these answers and so much more in this experimental series of #unodosoftrace! For the next week, each episode I release will dig a little deeper into the world of physical contact, touch and how it all works! I hope you love it.

The Meissner Corpuscle Revised: A Multiafferented Mechanoreceptor with Nociceptor Immunochemical Properties
jneurosci.org/content/21/18/7236.full
Microscopic examination of the skin reveals a variety of nerve terminals including free nerve endings (which are most common), Ruffini endings, and encapsulated endings, such Pacinian corpuscles, Meissner’s corpuscles, and Krause end bulbs.

Receptors are biological transducers that convert energy from both external and internal environments into electrical impulses. They may be massed together to form a sense organ, such as the eye or ear, or they may be scattered, as are those of the skin and viscera. Receptors are connected to the central nervous system by afferent nerve fibres. The region or area in the periphery from which a neuron within the central nervous system receives input is called its receptive field. Receptive fields are changing and not fixed entities.
