CT传入是哺乳动物多毛皮肤中的受体，当皮肤被轻轻触摸时，它会激发动作电位，这使得它们在情感触摸中特别重要。传统的神经科学研究集中在更多的辨别和触觉特性的触摸，是由大型有髓传入和编码特性和功能组织的无髓CT传入介导的研究少得多。单独的部分将讨论（1）我们如何测量情感触摸，（2）CT结构和生理学，（3）CT处理，（4）CT对性行为的贡献，（5）临床相关性，（6）商业相关性，（7）未来的研究考虑。
CT afferents are receptors in mammalian hairy skin that fire action potentials when the skin is touched lightly which makes them particularly important in affective touch. Traditionally neuroscientific research has focused on more discriminative and haptic properties of touch that are mediated by large myelinated afferents and the coding properties and functional organization of unmyelinated CT afferents have been studied much less. The proposed volume will draw together existing knowledge in this nascent field. Separate sections will address (1) how we can measure affective touch,(2) CT structure and physiology,(3) CT processing,(4) the contribution of CTs to sexual behavior,(5) clinical relevance,(6) commercial relevance, and (7) future research considerations.
