An investigation of the neural basis of changes in tactile acuity during healthy ageing and its impact on emotional wellbeing

University of Liverpool School of Psychology

The sense of touch refers to the perception of tactile stimuli through specialised receptors called mechanoreceptors. During tactile exploration, humans typically use their hands, which are densely innervated by these mechanoreceptors. Read more
