Sensorimotor control in the congenital absence of functional muscle spindles

Experimental Physiology
Hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type III (HSAN III), also known as familial dysautonomia or Riley–Day syndrome, results from an autosomal recessive genetic mutation that causes a selective loss of specific sensory neurones, leading to greatly

Biophysical characterization of the recording of unmyelinated and myelinated fiber activity with peripheral interfaces

iScience
Summary: Unmyelinated fibers account for a remarkable fraction of the peripheral nervous system and their activity is linked to many autonomic and somatic functions.

Functional signatures of human somatosensory C fibers by microneurography

Pain
Abstract Microneurography allows the recording of single C-fiber action potentials of a peripheral nerve innervating the skin in the awake, conscious human. The method is highly relevant to assess and understand the function of human peripheral nociceptors and correlate nociceptor discharges to human sensation. Given the current translational

Microneurograpy: Single unit recordings from touch afferents in humans [PDF]

, 2019
International audienceThe in vivo technique of microneurography allows the recording of peripheral nerve traffic in humans. In touch research, microneurography is used to record from single mechanoreceptive afferents during tactile interactions and their

Supervised spike sorting feasibility of noisy single-electrode extracellular recordings:Systematic study of human C-nociceptors recorded via microneurography

Sorting spikes from noisy single-channel in-vivo extracellular recordings is challenging, particularly due to the lack of ground truth data. Microneurography, an electrophysiological technique for studying peripheral sensory systems, employs experimental

Hybrid knowledge- and data-driven modelling for robust spike detection and sorting in human C-fiber microneurography

Scientific Reports
Analyzing temporal spike patterns in C-fibers recorded via microneurography is challenging due to the use of a single recording electrode, waveform variability, and high similarity of spike shapes across neurons, limiting the interpretation of sensory ...

Influence of sex on sympathetic vasomotor outflow responses to passive leg raising in young individuals

Journal of Physiological Sciences
The purpose of this study was to clarify sex differences in the inhibition of sympathetic vasomotor outflow which is caused by the loading of cardiopulmonary baroreceptors. Ten young males and ten age-matched females participated.

Human tactile sensing and sensorimotor mechanism: from afferent tactile signals to efferent motor control

Nature Communications
In tactile sensing, decoding the journey from afferent tactile signals to efferent motor commands is a significant challenge primarily due to the difficulty in capturing population-level afferent nerve signals during active touch. This study integrates a

Functional organisation and population behaviour of human peripheral nerve fibres : a microneurography study

, 1997
With regard to the intraneural organisation of peripheral nerves findings obtained from previous anatomical and physiological studies appear to be controversial.

Association between altered baroreflex control and pain intensity in fibromyalgia

BMC Neurology
Background The role of the sympathetic nervous system dysfunction in fibromyalgia (FM) is unclear. A large series of studies has shown that various abnormalities of the autonomic nervous system are present in fibromyalgia and contribute at least in part ...
