The neuropharmacology of a slowly adapting type 1 sensory receptor

The role of the Merkel cell-neurite complex in the transduction process in slowly adapting type 1 (SA1) cutaneous mechanoreceptors is unresolved. One hypothesis, based largely on the ultrastructure of Merkel cell-neurite complexes, suggests that chemosynaptic transmission occurs between the Merkel c...
