When a small amount of pressure is applied to the Pacinian corpuscle, a nonpropagated depolarizing potential resembling an excitatory postsynaptic potential (EPSP) is recorded. This is called the generator potential or receptor potential

The receptor (Pacinian corpuscle) converts mechanical energy into an electrical response, the magnitude is proportional to the intensity of the stimulus. Thus, the responses are described as graded potentials rather than all-or-none

Sensory receptors show adaptation, when a constant stimulus is applied for a period of time. Pattern of adaptation are phasic (adapt rapidly to the stimulus)& tonic(adapt slowly to the stimulus)
