Slow Touch and Fast Nociception: Exploration of the Interactions Between Noxious and Innocuous Mechanical Touch Sensation
… by fast conducting, thickly myelinated Aβ afferent nerves (Mountcastle, 2005). In contrast, higher force, potentially tissue damaging, mechanical stimuli are, according to this view, encoded by high threshold mechanosensitive receptor (HTMR) endings that receive innervation from slowly …

Investigations of human cortical processing of gentle touch. A study with time-resolved electro-magnetic signal analysis
… touch to the hairy skin activates two distinct afferent classes: fast conducting, Aβ afferents and slowly conducting C-tactile (CT) afferents. Aβ afferents signal discriminative aspects of touch, whereas CT afferents are proposed to play a role in affective touch. Using complementary …
