- W2046364037 abstract "To compare the relative sensitivities of glabrous and hairy skin, we measured reaction times (RTs) and detectability (d′)of airpuffs delivered to the hairy dorsum and glabrous thenar eminence of the hand of six human subjects. In contrast to previous studies with mechanical contact stimuli, airpuffs applied to hairy skin were detected with equal or greater fidelity than airpuffs tested on glabrous skin. Mean RTs to three simultaneously applied airpuffs were significantly shorter (p <. 005) on hairy skin in five of six subjects, and in 74% of paired sessions; no significant difference in mean RTs was observed in 16% of the sessions. The superiority of hairy skin was less evident, however, when single airpuffs were tested, as significantly shorter responses were observed on only 45% of the paired sessions, and nearly identical responses on 38% of the sessions. Detectability of airpuffs (d′), which is independent of the value of RTs, was identical on hairy and glabrous skin at high airpuff intensities (1,600 dyn), and superior (n = 4) or equal (n = 2) on hairy skin with low airpuff intensities (800 dyn).Spatial summation was more pronounced on hairy man on glabrous skin. Three simultaneously presented airpuffs produced significantly shorter RTs than one airpuff in 85% of the paired sessions on hairy skin, but on only half of the sessions on glabrous skin. The spatial distribution of stimulus force was less important on hairy skin, as three low-intensity airpuffs produced the same or shorter RTs than one high-intensity airpuff. By contrast, on glabrous skin, detectability was significantly better when force was concentrated at a single point (1 × 1,600 dyn) than when diffused over a wide skin area (3 × 800 dyn).The enhanced sensitivity of hairy skin to airpuffs appears partially attributable to hair motion in the airstream. After hair removal by chemical depilation, detectability of airpuffs was reduced on hairy skin to a level equal to or below that on glabrous skin. Spatial summation on the depilated skin corresponded to that observed on the intact hairy skin, indicating that depilation did not abolish intensity discrimination, but rather lowered the overall sensitivity of hairy skin. These results show that hair follicle units form a very sensitive detection mechanism on hairy skin of the human hand, similar to that provided by Meissner's and Pacinian afferents in glabrous skin.These findings with airpuffs provide the first example of a tactile stimulus that is less effective for mechanoreceptors in glabrous skin than in hairy skin. They also demonstrate the importance of hair motion and convergence of inputs from multiple-point stimuli in the sensory function of hairy skin." @default.
