The Journal of PhysiologyTouch, pain and tickling: an electro‐physiological investigation on cutaneous sensory nerves
470 Citations1939Yngve Zotterman
The present research was started in order to study the response of the thinnest afferent fibres to various stimuli applied to the skin to provide some fixed points for the correlation of results from different experiments.
The Journal of General PhysiologyPROPERTIES OF DORSAL ROOT UNMEDULLATED FIBERS ON THE TWO SIDES OF THE GANGLION
317 Citations1955Herbert S. Gasser
The argument is strongly in favor of the conclusion that among d.r.C fibers, as in other fibers, there is no cross-excitation between the axons, and the view is confirmed that the velocities of conduction in the fibers can be precisely accounted for by multiplying the diameters by a constant.
The Journal of General PhysiologyUNMEDULLATED FIBERS ORIGINATING IN DORSAL ROOT GANGLIA
206 Citations1950Herbert S. Gasser
Reasons have been given why it is inadvisable at the present time to call the postspike potential an after-potential, and two of the findings are particularly noteworthy.
The Journal of PhysiologyThe electrophysiological identification of single nerve fibres, with particular reference to the slowest‐conducting vagal afferent fibres in the cat
189 Citations1958A. Iggo
Evidence is presented for the conclusion that most of the fibres isolated in the cat were probably unmyelinated, as well as new methods for identifying single fibres in a multifibre strand described.

183 Citations1957A. Iggo
The receptors were distension-sensitive endings in the œsophagus, stomach or small intestines, and probably lay in the muscularis externa of the stomach or intestines.

The Journal of PhysiologyOn the frequency of firing of mammalian non‐medullated nerve fibres
28 Citations1957W. W. Douglas, J. M. Ritchie
Direct evidence is found that the frequency of firing of efferent non-medullated fibres in the cat's saphenous nerve which respond to touch is indeed low.
