This study used comparative neurophysiological and morphological techniques to test whether ventral non-pored canals encode the velocity of skin movements, The mechanosensory lateral line system of fishes is best known as a detector of hydrodynamic flow across the body surface (for a review, see Coombs and...

Tactile receptors provide the sensations of touch, pressure, and vibration. Nerve endings of the root hair plexus monitor distortions and movements across the body surface wherever hairs are located. These receptors adapt rapidly,

Sensory receptors monitor important characteristics of the internal and external environment. Receptors for the general senses are scattered throughout the body. Mechanoreceptors respond to physical distortion of the cell membrane. Tactile receptors provide fine touch and pressure sensations as well as...

1996 ). Neurons in areas 3b and 1 in the monkey possess discrete tactile receptive fields (DiCarlo et al. 1998 ; Mountcastle and Powell 1959 ; Pons et al. 1987 ; Sur et al. 1980 ) that are organized into mirror representations of the tactile body surface along the area 3b and 1 border (Kaas et al.

2004 ). As a consequence, multisensory signals are integrated at the single neuron level to facilitate the control of motor commands that give rise to orienting movements of the eyes, head, and body. Whereas visual and somatosensory maps are formed by topographic projections from the retina and body surface, respectively,
