This volume on the processes of transformation of mechanical stimuli into electrical activity in various mechanoreceptors comprises the authors investigations as well as relevant literature data. It deals mainly with initial electrical processes from stimulus of the mechanoreceptor to receptor potential. For the first time the connection between passive and active ion transport and the generation of electrical potentials is considered in detail. Furthermore, data on the properties and selectivity of different types of mechanosensitive ion channels, as well as results of morphological...
