The series of events involved in sensory perception in which a sensory stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events by which a mechanical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events in which a sensory mechanical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a touch stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process. The perception of touch in animals is mediated by mechanoreceptors in the skin and mucous membranes and is the sense by which contact with objects gives evidence as to certain of their qualities. Different types of touch can be perceived (for example, light, coarse, pressure and tickling) and the stimulus may be external or internal (e.g. the feeling of a full stomach). The series of events involved in the perception of touch in which a sensory mechanical stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. The series of events required for an organism to receive a sensory mechanical stimulus, convert it to a molecular signal, and recognize and characterize the signal. This is a neurological process.
