Thermosensitivity and its possible fine-structural basis in mechanoreceptors in the beak skin of geese

An electrophysiological study on single afferent nerve fibers in the ophthalmic nerve of the goose revealed two kinds of temperature‐sensitive mechanoreceptors in the beak, which are innervated by large‐diameter myelinated axons. Some Herbst corpuscles, which display rapidly adapting responses to me...
