[[Alfonso Cepeda-Emiliani|Cepeda-Emiliani]] et al. (2025) reported on the sensory corpuscles found in the glans and frenular region: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
A wide variety of sensory corpuscles in the glans and frenular region | |||
were spatially segregated in a highly organized manner (Figures 8–10 | |||
and Figure S4). These included genital, Krause, Pacinian, Paciniform, | |||
Golgi-Mazzoni, Ruffini-like, Meissner, and numerous other corpuscles that were difficult to classify.<ref>{{REFjournal | |||
