对猫鼻窦毛囊的默克尔细胞-神经突复合体进行了EM和电生理研究。这些机械感受器对高频振动刺激和静态头发位移做出非常精确的相位锁定反应。机电转导过程比已知的任何其他体细胞机械感受器都要快。显然，这些受体中的机电换能器元件是神经末梢而不是默克尔细胞。
An EM and electrophysiological investigation was made of Merkel cell-neurite complexes in the sinus hair follicles of the cat. These mechanoreceptors respond with very precise phase locking to high-frequency vibratory stimuli as well as to static hair displacements. The mechanoelectric transduction process is faster than that known for any other somatic mechanoreceptor. Apparently the nerve endings and not the Merkel cells are the mechanoelectric transducer elements in these receptors.
