RESUMO
An improved model of the Pacinian corpuscle includes corrections for lamellar curvature. Results suggest that outer-zone lamellae produce a focusing effect whereby stimuli are channeled radially inwards. The requirements for this effect (large outer-surface area and thin, closely spaced lamellae) provide a rationale for the complexity of the outer-zone structure.
