Type: Concept
As of November 2026, C tactile afferent fibers has been mentioned in one podcast episode on The Diary Of A CEO (Apr 2026). Discussed as nerve fibers that respond to human touch and contribute to pleasure.
C tactile afferents are nerve receptors in mammalian skin that generally respond to nonpainful stimulation such as light touch. For this reason they are classified as 'low-threshold mechanoreceptors'. As group C nerve fibers, they are unmyelinated and have slow conduction velocities. They are mostly associated with the sensation of pleasant touch, though they may also mediate some forms of pain. CT afferents were discovered by Åke Vallbo using the technique of microneurography.
