5 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the ipsilesional sensory cortex enhances motor learning after stroke

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
Sensory feedback is critical for motor learning, and thus to neurorehabilitation after stroke. Whether enhancing sensory feedback by applying excitatory repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the ipsilesional primary sensory cortex (IL ...

Vicarious experiences and detection accuracy while observing pain and touch: the effect of perspective taking [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this study, we investigated the effects of observing pain and touch in others on vicarious somatosensory experiences and the detection of subtle somatosensory stimuli.

Sequential addition of neuronal stem cell temporal cohorts generates a feed-forward circuit in the Drosophila larval nerve cord

open access: yeseLife, 2022
How circuits self-assemble starting from neuronal stem cells is a fundamental question in developmental neurobiology. Here, we addressed how neurons from different stem cell lineages wire with each other to form a specific circuit motif.

The multisensory body revealed through its cast shadows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
One key issue when conceiving the body as a multisensory object is how the cognitive system integrates visible instances of the self and other bodies with one\u2019s own somatosensory processing, to achieve self-recognition and body ownership.

Perceiving and Knowing as Activities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
According to the tradition of most empiricists, perception is the basis for all our knowledge (at least of the world). The tradition also assumes that perception by humans is a passive activity resulting in some static states pertaining perception and ...

Implicit body representations and the conscious body image [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Recent studies have revealed that somatosensory processing relies on a class of implicit body representations showing large distortions of size and shape.

Somatosensation: Touching the mind’s fingers [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2000
Whether mental operations can be reduced to the biological properties of the brain has intrigued scientists and philosophers alike for millennia. New microstimulation experiments on awake, behaving monkeys establish causality between activity of specialized cortical neurons and a controlled behavior.

NaV1.1 is essential for proprioceptive signaling and motor behaviors

open access: yeseLife, 2022
The voltage-gated sodium channel (NaV), NaV1.1, is well-studied in the central nervous system; conversely, its contribution to peripheral sensory neuron function is more enigmatic.
