(FRAME-INFO (STRING "Pacinian Corpuscles. \(Image compliments of Dr. M. Byers, Dept. of Biological Structure, University of Washington\). These  are rapidly adapting receptors sensitive to vibration. The free nerve ending is surrounded by a multi-layered capsule. This cross section shows two Pacinian corpuscles with NGFR \(nerve growth factor receptor\) immunoreactivity in their capsule cells and weaker staining inside.  The nerve terminal in the center is stained only weakly or not at all. Information from Pacinian corpuscles travels centrally in the posterior column-medial lemniscus system."))
