Strain-sensitive mechanoreceptors in the human skin provide kinaesthetic information

摘要: Sensory sources that are believed to be particularly important for sensorimotor control and kinaesthesia include vision, vestibular organs, afferents from muscles joints, skin mechanoreceptors. The functional relationship between these is only partially known. That vision effectively suppress illusions vibratory stimulations of limb indicate, instance, an hierarchical organisation the sensory systems. In past it has generally been supposed among somatosensory systems, muscle spindles play a role in kinaesthesia. Recent studies challenge this view: mechanoreceptors hairy have found exquisitely sensitive movements nearby display static position sensitivities at least on par with those reported spindle afferents. Moreover, under some experimental conditions, information precedence over provided by regard control.
