Investigations of human cortical processing of gentle touch. A study with time-resolved electro-magnetic signal analysis
… 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 neuroimaging methods with high temporal resolution, we aimed to distinguish between …

Individual Differences in Behavioural and Physiological Responses to Affective Touch
… Over the last few decades the functionality of C-Tactile afferents (CTs) have been investigated, with researchers positing that CTs function to signal the rewarding value of social tactile interactions. Here, by exploring the relationship between trait sociability and affective touch perception …
