In the same way as does the sensitivity of the SA-1 and SA-2 neurons.

Because of differences in the adaptation properties of the receptors with the largest receptive fields.

In the same way as does the density of the PC and SA-2 neurons that have the largest somatosensory receptive fields.

In the same way as does the density of the RA and SA-1 neurons with the smallest somatosensory receptive fields.
