Characterising the stimulus-response function of mouse C-Low threshold mechanoreceptors to mechanical stimuliin vivo (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Semizoglou, E., Lo Re, L., Middleton, S. J., Perez-Sanchez, J., Tufarelli, T., Bennett, D. L., & Chisholm, K. I. Characterising the stimulus-response function of mouse C-Low threshold mechanoreceptors to mechanical stimuliin vivo

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 Characterising the stimulus-response function of mouse C-Low threshold mechanoreceptors to mechanical stimuliin vivo.

Assessing spontaneous sensory neuron activity usingin vivocalcium imaging (2024)
Preprint / Working Paper
Ingram, S. L., Chisholm, K. I., Wang, F., De Koninck, Y., Denk, F., & Goodwin, G. L. Assessing spontaneous sensory neuron activity usingin vivocalcium imaging

Heightened spontaneous activity in sensory neurons is often reported in individuals living with chronic pain. It is possible to study this activity in rodents using electrophysiology, but these experiments require great skill and can be prone to bias...
