The effect of compression and combined compression-tactile stimulation on lower limb somatosensory acuity [PDF]
Frontiers in Sports and Active Living, 2023 BackgroundLower limb somatosensation and proprioception are important for maintaining balance. Research has shown that compression garments or exposure to textured surfaces, can enhance somatosensation however, little is known about the effect of ...

Profiling Somatosensory Impairment after Stroke: Characterizing Common “Fingerprints” of Impairment Using Unsupervised Machine Learning-Based Cluster Analysis of Quantitative Measures of the Upper Limb [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2023 Altered somatosensory function is common among stroke survivors, yet is often poorly characterized. Methods of profiling somatosensation that illustrate the variability in impairment within and across different modalities remain limited.

Intra- and Inter-Rater Reliability, Parallel Test Reliability, and Internal Consistency of the Tuning Fork and Monofilament Tests [PDF]
BioengineeringObjectives: Somatosensation is the ability to detect various external and internal stimuli (such as pain, pressure, temperature, or joint position), and its objective and reproducible evaluation is essential for diagnosis, training, and rehabilitation ...

The effect of combined compression and tactile stimulation on ankle somatosensation in a lunar gravity lower limb load analog [PDF]
Frontiers in PhysiologyAnkle somatosensation appears to be negatively affected when in simulated hypogravity (gravity, 1 > g < 0). Developing countermeasures to reduce this negative effect is necessary for sensorimotor control as astronauts prepare to explore the Moon ...

Multisensory Interactions in Head and Body Centered Perception of Verticality
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021 Percepts of verticality are thought to be constructed as a weighted average of multisensory inputs, but the observed weights differ considerably between studies. In the present study, we evaluate whether this can be explained by differences in how visual,

A spinoparabrachial circuit defined by Tacr1 expression drives pain
eLife, 2021 Painful stimuli evoke a mixture of sensations, negative emotions and behaviors. These myriad effects are thought to be produced by parallel ascending circuits working in combination. Here, we describe a pathway from spinal cord to brain for ongoing pain.

The organizational principles of de-differentiated topographic maps in somatosensory cortex
eLife, 2021 Topographic maps are a fundamental feature of cortex architecture in the mammalian brain. One common theory is that the de-differentiation of topographic maps links to impairments in everyday behavior due to less precise functional map readouts. Here, we
