As sensory receptors in our skin, muscles, bones, joints and organs are triggered by a specific stimulus, this signal passes to the somatosensory region in the brain which is uniquely attributed ...

The somatosensory system consists of the peripheral receptors and neural pathways through which the nervous system detects and processes information about touch (mechanoception), pain (nociception ...

Some of these receptors produce stimulating and others ... galanin modulates peripheral‑to‑central connectivity in the somatosensory thalamus during whisker development in mice, Nature ...
