eLife, 2016 Tactile information available to the rat vibrissal system begins as external forces that cause whisker deformations, which in turn excite mechanoreceptors in the follicle.

Observing another in pain facilitates vicarious experiences and modulates somatosensory experiences [PDF]
, 2014 Objective: This study investigated whether individuals reporting vicarious pain in daily life (e.g., the self-reported vicarious pain group) display vicarious experiences during an experimental paradigm, and also show an improved detection of ...

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]
, 2012 The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.

The vision of Hsiao on somatosensation
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2015 The goal of this review is to start to consolidate and distill the substantial body of research that comprises the published work of the late Professor Steven S. Hsiao. The studies of Hsiao began by demonstrating the receptive field properties of somatosensory neurons, progressed to describing cortical feature selectivity, and then eventually elevated

Measuring Change in Somatosensation Across the Lifespan [PDF]
The American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 2015 Abstract OBJECTIVE. The study aim was to determine natural variability in somatosensation across age groups using brief measures. We validated measures in a community-dwelling population as part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Toolbox for Assessment of Neurological and Behavioral Function (NIH Toolbox; http://www.nihtoolbox ...

"Impossible" somatosensation and the (ir)rationality of perception [PDF]
Open Mind, 2019 Impossible figures represent the world in ways it cannot be. From the work of M.C. Escher to any popular perception textbook, such experiences show how some principles of mental processing can be so entrenched and inflexible as to produce absurd and even incoherent outcomes that could not occur in reality.

More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2010 The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2020 The somatosensory system is important for many functions, such as tactile recognition, the perception of our body, and motor actions. We present a comprehensive review of the human and animal literature on somatosensory processing over the past 10 years and evaluate how well existing models can accommodate the new observations.
