A model of the electrical behaviour of myelinated sensory nerve fibres based on human data [PDF]
Calculation of the response of human myelinated sensory nerve fibres to spinal cord stimulation initiated the development of a fibre model based on electro-physiological and morphometric data for human sensory nerve fibres.

TOBE: Tangible Out-of-Body Experience [PDF]
We propose a toolkit for creating Tangible Out-of-Body Experiences: exposing the inner states of users using physiological signals such as heart rate or brain activity. Tobe can take the form of a tangible avatar displaying live physiological readings to

Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels: Basal properties and physiological potential
Transient receptor potential vanilloid (TRPV) channels are TRP homologs and have been classified into six subfamilies. They are unique mediators of sensory signals with multiple physiological effects and are potential targets for developing new therapies targeting human diseases.

Synaptic Noise Facilitates the Emergence of Self-Organized Criticality in the Caenorhabditis elegans Neuronal Network [PDF]
Avalanches with power-law distributed size parameters have been observed in neuronal networks. This observation might be a manifestation of the self-organized criticality (SOC).

ABSTRACT Background Kaposiform lymphangiomatosis (KLA) is an aggressive complex lymphatic anomaly. Patients exhibit malformed lymphatic vessels and often develop hemorrhagic effusions and elevated angiopoietin‐2 (Ang‐2) levels. A somatic NRAS p.Q61R (NRASQ61R) mutation has been associated with KLA.

Aiming for the stomach and hitting the heart: dissociable triggers and sources for disgust reactions. [PDF]
Disgust reactions can be elicited using stimuli that engender orogastric rejection (e.g., pus and vomit; core disgust stimuli) but also using images of bloody injuries or medical procedures (e.g., surgeries; blood [body] boundary violation [B-BV] disgust
