Introduction Primary afferent neurons detect physical or chemical stimuli and convey information about them to the central nervous system (CNS).

Afferent sensory neurons with receptors monitoring local changes in the chemical and mechanical environment provide the information that allows the autonomic nervous system to regulate blood flow ...

It contains bidirectional motor and sensory fibers, afferent fibers carrying information from body tissues to the central nervous system and efferent fibers carrying information from the central ...

Researchers have developed artificial mechanosensory nerves using flexible organic devices to emulate biological sensory afferent nerves. They used the artificial mechanosensory nerves to control ...

New research from Stanford and Seoul University has lead to the development of an artificial sensor system that potentially can act like skin for prosthetics and robots.
