C-low threshold mechanoreceptors (C-LTMRs) in animals (termed C-tactile (CT) fibres in humans) are a subgroup of C-fibre primary afferents, which innervate hairy skin and respond to low-threshold punctate indentations and brush stimuli. These afferen... Read More about In vivo calcium imaging reveals directional sensitivity of C-low threshold mechanoreceptors.
