## Abstract Human hairy but not glabrous skin has unmyelinated (C) tactile (CT) afferents that project to insular cortex. We studied two subjects with the rare sensory neuronopathy syndrome who lack A‐beta fibers but have relatively preserved C‐fiber function. Weak monofilaments were detected on ha
