Feeling the pressure in mammalian somatosensation [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2005 Mechanoreceptor cells of the somatosensory system initiate the perception of touch and pain. Molecules required for mechanosensation have been identified from invertebrate neurons, and recent functional studies indicate that ion channels of the transient receptor potential and degenerin/epithelial Na+ channel families are likely to be transduction ...

Dual leucine zipper kinase is required for mechanical allodynia and microgliosis after nerve injury
eLife, 2018 Neuropathic pain resulting from nerve injury can become persistent and difficult to treat but the molecular signaling responsible for its development remains poorly described.

Tactile-STAR: A Novel Tactile STimulator And Recorder System for Evaluating and Improving Tactile Perception [PDF]
, 2018 Many neurological diseases impair the motor and somatosensory systems. While several different technologies are used in clinical practice to assess and improve motor functions, somatosensation is evaluated subjectively with qualitative clinical scales ...

Translational Sports Medicine, 2020 While research suggests that somatosensation contributes to elite athletic performance, little is known regarding the capacity of ergogenic aids (eg, compression) to enhance somatosensation. This study assessed the effects of compression socks on functional ankle somatosensory ability, and whether any effects depended on baseline somatosensation or ...

Peripheral somatosensation: a touch of genetics [PDF]
Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2011 The somatosensory system processes information that organisms 'feel': joint position, muscle stretch, pain, pressure, temperature, and touch. The system is composed of a diverse array of peripheral nerve endings specialized to detect these sensory modalities.

eLife, 2018 Piezo2 ion channels are critical determinants of the sense of light touch in vertebrates. Yet, their regulation is only incompletely understood. We recently identified myotubularin related protein-2 (Mtmr2), a phosphoinositide (PI) phosphatase, in the ...

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.

The role of the right tempoparietal junction in the elicitation of vicarious experiences and detection accuracy while observing pain and touch [PDF]
, 2015 This study investigated the effects of observing pain and touch in others upon vicarious somatosensory experiences and the detection of subtle somatosensory stimuli.

Somatosensation and the First Person
Review of Philosophy and Psychology, 2022 AbstractExperientialism about the sense of bodily ownership is the view that there is something it is like to feel a body as one’s own. In this paper I argue for a particular experientialist thesis. I first present a puzzle about the relation between bodily awareness and self-consciousness, and introduce a somewhat underappreciated view on the sense of

A 2.5-D representation of the human hand [PDF]
, 2012 Primary somatosensory maps in the brain represent the body as a discontinuous, fragmented set of 2-D skin regions. We nevertheless experience our body as a coherent 3-D volumetric object.
