Can Vision Exist Without Somatosensation?
Nature Precedings, 2009 AbstractThe interconnection between vision and somatosensation is already well-established and is further supplemented by the evolutionary link between eyes and photoreceptors, and the functional connection between photosensation and thermoreception. However, our analysis hypothesizes a possibility that vision is not just linked to somatosensation, but

eLife, 2014 The somatosensory nervous system is critical for the organism's ability to respond to mechanical, thermal, and nociceptive stimuli. Somatosensory neurons are functionally and anatomically diverse but their molecular profiles are not well-defined.

What do we know about the transient receptor potential vanilloid 2 (TRPV2) ion channel? [PDF]
, 2013 Transient receptor potential (TRP) ion channels are emerging as a new set of membrane proteins involved in a vast array of cellular processes and regulated by a large number of physical and chemical stimuli, which involves them with sensory cell ...

Remote automated delivery of mechanical stimuli coupled to brain recordings in behaving mice
eLifeThe canonical framework for testing pain and mechanical sensitivity in rodents is manual delivery of stimuli to the paw. However, this approach is time-consuming, produces variability in results, requires significant training, and is ergonomically ...

Implicit and explicit body representations [PDF]
Several forms of perception require that sensory information be referenced to representations of the size and shape of the body. This requirement is especially acute in somatosensation in which the main receptor surface (i.e., the skin) is itself ...
