Touch detection and two-point discrimination thresholds at three sites on the distal phalanx of the little finger were compared with the histology of the same three sites in amputated fingers. No consistent relationship could be demonstrated between sensitivity to touch and the population density of Meissner corpuscles or other organised endings. However, the findings do not negate the suggestion that Meissner corpuscles may be involved in two-point discrimination.
对小指远节指骨三个部位的触觉检测和两点辨别阈值,与截肢手指相同三个部位的组织学进行了比较。在触觉敏感度与迈斯纳小体或其他有组织的末梢的数量密度之间,未能证明存在一致的关系。然而,这些发现并不否定迈斯纳小体可能参与两点辨别的观点。
