General Attributes of Sensory Nerve Endings Mechanical interactions of the whisker shaft with the environment are encoded by these terminals and conveyed as spike impulses to the brainstem trigeminal nuclei via the centrally projecting processes of the trigeminal primary sensory neurons the results of brainstem processing are then conveyed to various brain stations. The trigeminal primary sensory neurons within the ganglia are pseudo-unipolar cells the tips of their peripheral processes terminate within the follicles of the mystacial vibrissae as mechanosensory receptors (Vincent, 1913). Particularly germane to this report is the dense innervation of the follicle by a large variety of nerve fibers provided by sensory neurons of the trigeminal ganglia (Fig. The follicle and sinuses are surrounded by a thick collagenous capsule covered by a layer of skeletal muscle that functions as arrector pili. Each follicle is surrounded by two large blood sinuses, the ring and cavernous sinuses, hence the term “sinus hair” for the mystacial vibrissae (Fig.1, left panel). The vibrissal shafts of rat and cat range from 0.1 to 0.2 mm in diameter each vibrissa is emitted from an elaborately structured follicle termed the Follicle Sinus Complex (FSC) by Rice and Munger (1986). Most mammals possess rows of whiskers (i.e., vibrissae) on both sides of the face arranged in an orderly grid on the mystacial pad. 3.2 Recent Findings Regarding Vibrissal Innervation.3.1.2 Threshold, Adaptation, and Receptive Field.3.1.1 Conduction velocity and Nerve fiber diameter.3 Physiological and Morphological Correlations.2.9 Central Processes of Primary Sensory Neurons.2.3.2 Circumferential Lanceolate Endings.1.2 Relationship between Morphology and Physiology.1.1 General Attributes of Sensory Nerve Endings.Latitude and Mood – A Brief Look at the Literature.What Is The Role of Psychological First Aid in the Pandemic & Can It Be Optimised For Social Media?.Picasso iconis… /i/web/status/1… 7 months ago There are various symbols but an important one is the dove.

This seems like a fairly esoteric subject and it is but it’s related to a model of emotional representation in the Insular Cortex which was initially developed by A.Craig and which has been reviewed elsewhere on this blog (see here, here and here). I’ve uploaded a new video on the TAWOP channel on Ruffini Endings in the eyelids.
