Low-threshold mechanoreceptors play a frequency-dependent dual role in subjective ratings of mechanical allodynia
<p>In the setting of injury, myelinated primary afferent fibers that normally signal light touch are thought to switch modality and instead signal pain. In the absence of injury, touch is perceived as more intense when firing rates of Aβ afferents increase. However, it is not known if varying...
