title: Modality difference in the physiological properties and morphological characteristics of the trigeminal sensory neurons.
abstract: A-delta nociceptive neurons divided according to fast-conducting (n = 21) and slow-conducting (n = 13) types were found to be different in electrophysiology and morphology, while between warm temperature (n = 23) and warm temperature and touch (n = 38) neurons, and between touch (n = 26) and vibrotactile (n = 59) neurons their characteristics were found to be similar.
