<prompt> If a single spinal nerve is cut, the area of tactile loss is always greater than the area of loss of painful sensations, becauseTactile information is carried by myelinated fast conducting fibresTactile receptors adapt quicklyDegree of overlap of fibres carrying tactile sensation is much lessIn the primary sensory cortex, tactile sensation is represented on a larger area  <response>: There is much overlapping between pain carrying fibers as compared to touch.
