Abstract
For several decades, our attempt to characterize afferent signals from cardiovascular or peripheral sensory nerves has focused on the description of action potentials in single fibers classified according to their thickness, their conduction velocity, or the degree of their myelination.We are now at the point where we need to define the molecular components of the ion channels and associated proteins that are responsible for mechano-chemo transduction, nociception, temperature, and touch sensitivity.
