Abstract
The neural response to touch stimuli is influenced by skin properties as well as the delivery of stimuli. Here, we compare stimuli controlled by displacement and force, and analyze the impact on firing rates of slowly adapting type I afferents as skin thickness and elasticity change. Uniaxial compression tests were used to measure the mechanical properties of mouse hind limb skin (n=5), resulting in a range of skin thickness measurements (211.6–530.6 μm) and hyper- and visco-elastic properties (average coefficient of variation=0.27).Values were integrated to an axisymmetric finite element model using an Ogden strain energy function. This calculated the propagation of surface loads to tactile end-organ locations, where maximum compressive stress and its rate were sampled and linearly regressed to firing rate. For the observed range of skin thickness, firing response was predicted under both force and displacement control of a ramp-and-hold stimulus. Over the ramp phase of stimulation, the variance in predicted firing rate was higher under displacement than under force control (22.2versus 4.9 Hz) with a similar trend in the sustained phase of stimulation (4.6versus1.3Hz). Given that skin thickness varies significantly between specimens, for human skin perhaps seven more so than for mice, the use of force control is predicted to decrease experimental variance in neurophysiological and psychophysical responses.
