The Functional Organization of Cutaneous Low-Threshold Mechanosensory Neurons

TL;DR: It is found that each of the three major hair follicle types of trunk hairy skin (guard, awl/auchene, and zigzag hairs) is innervated by a unique and invariant combination of LTMRs; thus, each hair follicles type is a functionally distinct mechanosensory end organ.
Journal ArticleDOI

Injury-induced mechanical hypersensitivity requires C-low threshold mechanoreceptors

TL;DR: It is reported that a small subset of cells in the DRG expresses the low abundance vesicular glutamate transporter VGLUT3 (also known as SLC17A8), which impairs mechanical pain sensation and the mechanical hypersensitivity to normally innocuous stimuli that accompanies inflammation, nerve injury and trauma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nociceptors lacking TRPV1 and TRPV2 have normal heat responses.

TL;DR: Vanilloid receptor 1 (TRPV1) has been proposed to be the principal heat-responsive channel for nociceptive neurons but, unlike rat, mouse IB4-positive cutaneous afferents did not express TRPV2 immunoreactivity, and was not required for detecting noxious heat.
Journal ArticleDOI

TRPV1 unlike TRPV2 is restricted to a subset of mechanically insensitive cutaneous nociceptors responding to heat.

TL;DR: The results suggest that TRPV1 may be essential for heat transduction in a specific subset of mechanically insensitive cutaneous nociceptors and that this subset may constitute a discrete heat input pathway for inflammation-induced thermal pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cellular and Molecular Basis of Direction Selectivity of Aδ-LTMRs

TL;DR: It is shown that murine Aδ-LTMRs are preferentially tuned to deflection of body hairs in the caudal-to-rostral direction, which underlies direction-selective responsiveness of A δ- LTMRs to hair deflection.
