Genetic identification of C-fibers that detect massage-like stroking of hairy skin in vivo

Stroking of the skin produces pleasant sensations that can occur during social interactions with conspecifics, such as grooming(1). Despite numerous physiological studies (reviewed in ref. (2)), molecularly defined sensory neurons that detect pleasant stroking of hairy skin(3,4) in vivo have not bee...
