What Do They Accomplish?Organizers

Mini-symposium, 1 session.Description
The minisymposium will be about peripheral sensory neurons which possess oscillatory properties, including thermoreceptor afferents and several types of hair cell - primary afferent receptors. The speakers will review the evidence for oscillatory properties, but are asked to specifically address what functional implications the oscillatory properties may have for the sensitivity, adaptation, dynamic range, and stimulus encoding properties of sensory receptors, citing both experiments and computational simulations.Speakers
