The signaling lipid sphingosine 1-phosphate regulates mechanical pain
eLife, 2018 Somatosensory neurons mediate responses to diverse mechanical stimuli, from innocuous touch to noxious pain. While recent studies have identified distinct populations of A mechanonociceptors (AMs) that are required for mechanical pain, the molecular ...

The role of self-touch experience in the formation of the self [PDF]
, 2017 The human self has many facets: there is the physical body and then there are different concepts or representations supported by processes in the brain such as the ecological, social, temporal, conceptual, and experiential self.

Exploring Marine Mammal Cognition as a Conservation Tool
Marine Mammal Science, Volume 42, Issue 1, January 2026.ABSTRACT Cognition is an animal's real‐time adaptation system for responding to change. Rapid environmental change, often anthropogenic, is expanding the range and severity of challenges confronting wild animals. Effective conservation requires a multifaceted approach that includes animals' capacities.

Proprioceptive and cutaneous sensations in humans elicited by intracortical microstimulation
eLife, 2018 Pioneering work with nonhuman primates and recent human studies established intracortical microstimulation (ICMS) in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) as a method of inducing discriminable artificial sensation. However, these artificial sensations do not

The anticipation of events in time
, 2019 Humans anticipate events signaled by sensory cues. It is commonly assumed that two uncertainty parameters modulate the brain's capacity to predict: the hazard rate (HR) of event probability and the uncertainty in time estimation which increases with ...

Journal of Nursing Management, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.This study aimed to explore the ongoing possibilities of motion‐capture‐linked avatars in patient safety education, with the goal of enhancing nurses’ body awareness, thereby improving patient safety and nontechnical skills. Six nurses with an average experience of 29.0 ± 4.8 years participated in this pilot, exploratory qualitative study.

Origins of choice-related activity in mouse somatosensory cortex. [PDF]
, 2015 During perceptual decisions about faint or ambiguous sensory stimuli, even identical stimuli can produce different choices. Spike trains from sensory cortex neurons can predict trial-to-trial variability in choice.

Low-noise encoding of active touch by layer 4 in the somatosensory cortex
eLife, 2015 Cortical spike trains often appear noisy, with the timing and number of spikes varying across repetitions of stimuli. Spiking variability can arise from internal (behavioral state, unreliable neurons, or chaotic dynamics in neural circuits) and external (

Prediction of discharge walking ability from initial assessment in a stroke inpatient rehabilitation facility population [PDF]
, 2012 Objectives: To (1) determine which clinical assessments at admission to an inpatient rehabilitation facility (IRF) most simply predict discharge walking ability, and (2) identify a clinical decision rule to differentiate household versus community ...
