Somatosensory neurons integrate the geometry of skin deformation and mechanotransduction channels to shape touch sensing

Touch sensation hinges on force transfer across the skin and activation of mechanosensitive ion channels along the somatosensory neurons that invade the skin. This skin-nerve sensory system demands a quantitative model that spans the application of mechanical loads to channel activation. Unlike prio...
