Abstract Unmyelinated low threshold C-tactile fibers moderate pleasant aspects of touch. These fibers respond optimally to stroking stimulation of the skin with slow velocities (1–10 cm/s). Low threshold mechanoreceptors are arranged around hair fo

Dynamics of Affective Habituation to Touch Differ on the Group and Individual Level

Publikováno v: Neuroscience. 464

Slow stroking touch activates C-tactile (CT) fibres in the human skin and is typically described as pleasant. Over a longer duration of stroking, affective habituation sets in, indicated by a reduction in rated pleasantness. However, it is not clear

Right between the eyes: Corrugator muscle activity tracks the changing pleasantness of repeated slow stroking touch

Autor: Johanna Bendas, Uta Sailer, Ilona Croy, Anbjørn Ree, Luise D. Pabel

Subjective reports and physiological responses provide different appraisals of sensory input. The coherence between subjective and physiological responses to repeated pleasant stimuli remains largely unexplored, and is particularly important in situa

C-Tactile Mediated Erotic Touch Perception Relates to Sexual Desire and Performance in a Gender-Specific Way

Autor: Håkan Olausson, Janniko R. Georgiadis, Ilona Croy, Johanna Bendas, Gerhard Ritschel, Kerstin Weidner

Publikováno v: Journal of Sexual Medicine, 14(5), 645-653. ELSEVIER SCI LTD

Background Unmyelinated low-threshold mechanoreceptors—the so-called C-tactile (CT) afferents—play a crucial role in the perception and conduction of caressing and pleasant touch sensations and significantly contribute to the concept of erotic to
