<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>: Receptor field overlapping is lowest for temperature. Tactile receptor fields overlap higher than temperature. Highest overlapping is for pain. Temperature Touch Pain.So the inverse will be true for loss of sensation. Loss of sensation highest in Temperature since it has no overlapping. And the loss of sensation will be lowest for pain.
