1. New functional and anatomical aspects of the organisation of human peripheral nerve
Abstract : The functional topography of peripheral nerves has been studied by various indirect electrophysiological and histological methods. Even though some studies have suggested the presence of a somatotopical arrangement of nerve fibres, the prevailing view is that a random distribution of nerve fibres develops in the nerve due to the repeated rearrangement of nerve fascicles along their centripetal course.

2. Functional organisation and population behaviour of human peripheral nerve fibres : a microneurography study
Abstract : With regard to the intraneural organisation of peripheral nerves findings obtained from previous anatomical and physiological studies appear to be controversial. The conventional concept seems to be that peripheral nerves lack a detailed topographical organisation. READ MORE

3. Studies on nerve terminations in human mucosa and skin
Abstract : In spite of their accessibility and important sensory function, the nervous tissue components of human oral and vaginal mucosa and skin have been subject to very few, if any, systematic investigations. Studies on the innervation of oral tissues have mainly focused on the dental pulp, the periodontium and the gingiva, probably because of specific clinical interest, thus largely neglecting the mucosa.

4. Observations on morphology and function of cutaneous and subcutaneous sensory mechanoreceptors : an experimental study in mammals
Abstract : Tactile sensory discrimination is dependent upon an intact system of peripheral mechanoreceptors, their nerve fibre afferents with cell bodies in the dorsal root ganglion and the dorsal column-medial lemniscal system which relays tactile information from the skin to the cortex. Injury to any part of the afferent pathways leads to compromised mechanoreceptive perception. READ MORE

5. Influences of paratendinous innervation and non-neuronal substance P in tendinopathy : studies on human tendon tissue and an experimental model of Achilles tendinopathy
Abstract : Pain of the musculoskeletal system is one of the most common reasons for people seeking medical attention, and is also one of the major factors that prevent patients from working. Chronic tendon pain, tendinopathy, affects millions of workers world-wide, and the Achilles tendon is an important structure often afflicted by this condition. READ MORE
