Precise and stable edge orientation signaling by human first-order tactile neurons

Fast-adapting type 1 (FA-1) and slow-adapting type 1 (SA-1) first-order neurons in the human tactile system have distal axons that branch in the skin and form many transduction sites, yielding receptive fields with many highly sensitive zones or ‘subfields.’ We previously demonstrated that this arra...
