CT afferents are receptors in mammalian hairy skin that fire action
potentials when the skin is touched lightly which makes them
particularly important in affective touch. Traditionally
neuroscientific research has focused on more discriminative and
haptic properties of touch that are mediated by large myelinated
afferents and the coding properties and functional organization of
unmyelinated CT afferents have been studied much less. The proposed
volume will draw together existing knowledge in this nascent field.
Separate sections will address (1) how we can measure affective
touch, (2) CT structure and physiology, (3) CT processing, (4) the
contribution of CTs to sexual behavior, (5) clinical relevance, (6)
commercial relevance, and (7) future research considerations.
