Coding of mechanical pain by myelinated and unmyelinated nociceptors in human hairy skin

Abstract. Introduction:. In humans, cutaneous Aβ afferents are traditionally linked to discriminative touch, while pain is attributed to Aδ and C fibers. However, we previously identified thickly myelinated high-threshold mechanoreceptors (Aβ-HTMRs) that encode noxious skin indentations and evoke pa...
