Multiscale Mechanical Model of the Pacinian Corpuscle Shows Depth and Anisotropy Contribute to the Receptor’s Characteristic Response to Indentation

PC long-axis strain resulting from surface indentation at various nodes.
Surface indentation sensitivity plot showing the long-axis strain along the PC resulting from 10 μm indentation at various nodes along the surface of the epidermis (left) and dermis (right) models. The dotted black line indicates the position of a quarter of the PC beneath the surface of the skin. The solid black line on the epidermis plot indicates the contour line for zero strain, which is the strain value below which the neurite would not be expected to respond to indentation.
