Abstract After transplantation of a cutaneous nerve of the hind limb into the mesentery of the small intestine in cats (after preliminary removal of the Pacinian corpuscles from the mesentery), new encapsulated mechanoreceptors were observed to appear against the background of rapid regeneration of the fibers of the grafted nerve. Various stages of development of the Pacinian corpuscles were distinguished. The receptors formed under the conditions of this foreign innervation were indistinguishable in their morphological and functional properties from the ordinary type.
