Taylor, Lockwood, & Taylor (1996) carried out a gross and histological examination of the [[foreskin| prepuce]]. They reported that numerous Meissner's corpuscles are found in a [[ridged band]] area where the Meissner corpuscles are found near the tops of the ridges.<ref name="taylor1996">{{REFjournal | Taylor, Lockwood, & Taylor (1996) carried out a gross and histological examination of the [[foreskin| prepuce]].

been used to describe these encapsulated receptors, e.g. Krause, Dogiel, genital corpuscles, Endkalpsen and muco-cutaneous end-organs, but the term corpuscular (encapsulated) receptors will be used here to include all of these mechanoreceptors. Most of the encapsulated receptors of the prepuce are Meissner corpuscles, as they contact the epithelial basement membrane.<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{REFjournal | been used to describe these encapsulated receptors, e.g. Krause, Dogiel, genital corpuscles, Endkalpsen and muco-cutaneous end-organs, but the term corpuscular (encapsulated) receptors will be used here to include all of these mechanoreceptors.

Sorrels ''et al''. (2007) used a Semmes-Weinstein monofilament touch-test to map the fine-touch pressure thresholds of the [[penis]]. The areas most sensitive to fine-touch were the tip of the [[foreskin]] the mucocutaneous junction, the [[ridged band]], and the [[frenulum]]. These areas correspond to the location of Meissner's corpuscles. (These areas are not found on the circumcised penis.)<ref name="sorrells2007">{{REFjournal | Sorrels ''et al''.
