Sensory information from the environment is required for life and survival, and it is detected by specialized cells which togethermakeup the sensory system. The fish sensory system includes specialized organs that are ...

The vertebrate skin contains sensory corpuscles that are receptors for different qualities of mechanosensitivity like light brush, touch, pressure, stretch or vibration. These specialized sensory organs are linked anatomically ...

The transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) ion channel is a polymodal receptor that mediates the flux of cations across the membrane in response to several stimuli, including heat, voltage, and ligands. The best ...
