Processing the incredible diversity of tactile stimuli requires a wide array of specialized sensory neurons in the skin which pattern their peripheral receptors and central connections in a highly organized manner. In this dissertation, I use a suite of molecular and conditional genetic tools to explore the development of follicle-innervating LTMR neurons in mice. 000009962 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000009962 650__ $$aPeripheral Nervous System$$030360 000009962 6531_ $$asomatotopy 000009962 6531_ $$aimmunofluorescence microscopy 000009962 6531_ $$adevelopmental neuroscience 000009962 6531_ $$asensory systems 000009962 6531_ $$asomatosensation 000009962 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000009962 692__ $$aDepartment of Cell, Developmental and Cancer Biology$$041399 000009962 7001_ $$aPomaville, Matthew B. 000009962 8564_ $$9842a97b7-c6ee-404a-9f2f-841fc2431903$$s60387299$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/9962/files/Pomaville.Matthew.2022.pdf 000009962 905__ $$a/rest/prod/xp/68/kh/15/xp68kh15p 000009962 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:9962$$pstudent-work 000009962 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
