Popis:	Unmyelinated afferents responding to light touch were first described in furry animals in 1939. In humans, a similar type of afferents was identified about 50 years later (CT, C tactile) using the microneurography technique. CT afferents are present in hairy but not in the glabrous skin. Receptive fields are small (maximal 35 mm2) and patchy.
