Effect of Directional Deep Brain Stimulation on Sensory Thresholds in Parkinson’s Disease [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2020 ObjectivePrevious studies showed that deep brain stimulation (DBS) relieves pain symptoms in Parkinson disease (PD) patients when programmed for motor-symptom relief. One factor involved in pain processing is sensory perception of stimuli.

Sensory-specific impairment among older people. An investigation using both sensory thresholds and subjective measures across the five senses. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Age-related sensory impairment is a slow and gradual progress, which affects multiple modalities. Two contradictory hypotheses exist about the age-related decline of sensory thresholds.

Objective Estimation of Sensory Thresholds Based on Neurophysiological Parameters [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Reliable determination of sensory thresholds is the holy grail of signal detection theory. However, there exists no assumption-independent gold standard for the estimation of thresholds based on neurophysiological parameters, although a reliable ...

1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) Sensory Thresholds in Riesling Wine [PDF]
Foods, 2020 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN) is an aroma compound responsible for the kerosene/petrol notes in Riesling wines. In the current article, three sensory thresholds for TDN were determined in young Riesling wine: detection threshold (about 4 ...

Age differences in orofacial sensory thresholds. [PDF]
J Dent Res, 2010 Declines in sensory functioning with aging are evident for many of the senses. In the present study, thresholds were determined for somatosensory (warming and cooling temperature, pain, touch, and two-point discrimination) and taste stimuli in 178 healthy individuals aged 20-89 yrs.

Crossmodal integration improves sensory detection thresholds in the ferret. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 During the last two decades ferrets (Mustela putorius) have been established as a highly efficient animal model in different fields in neuroscience. Here we asked whether ferrets integrate sensory information according to the same principles established ...

Interictal thermal pain hypersensitivity and central sensitization in migraine patients: a case–control study using quantitative sensory testing [PDF]
Head & Face MedicineBackground Altered pain processing and central sensitization are key mechanisms underlying migraine. Although quantitative sensory testing (QST) objectively assesses sensory thresholds, its clinical implications in migraine patients are unclear.

Sensory Threshold Testing [PDF]
Diabetes Care, 1993 We read with much interest the recent study by Sosenko et al. (1). Studies that screen for both NIDDM and polyneuropathy in subjects without a history of glucose intolerance are rare and therefore welcome. In general, their cross-sectional data agree very well with our findings in a general Caucasian population.
