Touch is a team effort: interplay of submodalities in cutaneous sensibility
Abstract
Traditionally, different classes of cutaneous mechanoreceptive afferents are ascribed different and largely non-overlapping functional roles (for example texture or motion) stemming from their different response properties. This functional segregation is thought to be reflected in cortex, where each neuron receives input from a single submodality. We summarize work that challenges this notion. First, while it is possible to design artificial stimuli that preferentially excite a single afferent class, most natural stimuli excite all afferents and most tactile percepts are shaped by multiple submodalities. Second, closer inspection of cortical responses reveals that most neurons receive convergent input from multiple afferent classes. We argue that cortical neurons should be grouped based on their function rather than on their submodality composition.

“Different populations of afferents can be activated through these individual electrodes, which can have distinct receptive field locations (Saal and Bensmaia, 2014) and different sub-modality compositions of sensory afferents (mix of slowly adapting (SA), rapidly adapting (RA), and pacinian corpuscles (PC) afferents).”

“During natural contact with objects, all afferent types are activated and convey information about the objects' shape, size, texture and motion with respect to the skin (Saal and Bensmaia, 2014).”

In the citing paper
“Indeed, while different afferent types were traditionally assumed to encode a single tactile feature, such as surface texture or tactile motion, recent reinterpretation of extant data suggests that information about most tactile features is encoded synergistically by all afferent classes (see Saal and Bensmaia, 2014 for a review).”

“Importantly, signals from multiple afferent types converge at the earliest stages of processing in somatosensory cortex (and perhaps even before) (Carter et al., 2014;Pei et al., 2009;Saal and Bensmaia, 2014), allowing for the possibility that mimicking naturalistic patterns of activation over small populations of afferents of mixed type will result in naturalistic patterns of cortical activation,”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
