The brain's response to pleasant touch: an EEG investigation of tactile caressing [PDF]

, 2014
Somatosensation as a proximal sense can have a strong impact on our attitude toward physical objects and other human beings. However, relatively little is known about how hedonic valence of touch is processed at the cortical level.

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.

The Somatosensory Mismatch Negativity. [PDF]

Eur J Neurosci
The somatosensory mismatch negativity (sMMN) is a neural signature of automatic deviance detection, reflecting predictive processing in touch. This review synthesizes human, animal, and computational research to identify the key generators of the sMMN and examine its relation to adaptation, surprise, and probabilistic inference.

Stereotyped transcriptomic transformation of somatosensory neurons in response to injury

eLife, 2019
In mice, spared nerve injury replicates symptoms of human neuropathic pain and induces upregulation of many genes in somatosensory neurons. Here we used single cell transcriptomics to probe the effects of partial infraorbital transection of the ...

Somatosensation in the Brain

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.

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 ...

Semi-intact ex vivo approach to investigate spinal somatosensory circuits

eLife, 2016
The somatosensory input that gives rise to the perceptions of pain, itch, cold and heat are initially integrated in the superficial dorsal horn of the spinal cord. Here, we describe a new approach to investigate these neural circuits in mouse.

A Comparison of Functional Connectivity in the Human Brainstem and Spinal Cord Associated with Noxious and Innocuous Thermal Stimulation Identified by Means of Functional MRI

Brain Sciences, 2023
The somatosensory system is multidimensional and processes important information for survival, including the experience of pain. The brainstem and spinal cord serve pivotal roles in both transmitting and modulating pain signals from the periphery ...

Spatiotemporal dynamics of brain function network during proprioception rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A randomized trial

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
The improvement of proprioceptive function after ACLR is related to the optimization of spatiotemporal dynamics of SM, CC, DM, CB and VI functional networks. Rehabilitation optimization can incorporate visual–cognitive dual‐task exercises. Abstract Purpose In this study, we aimed to examine the dynamic functional network connectivity (dFNC) patterns ...

Hearing, touching, and multisensory integration during mate choice

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2022
Mate choice is a potent generator of diversity and a fundamental pillar for sexual selection and evolution. Mate choice is a multistage affair, where complex sensory information and elaborate actions are used to identify, scrutinize, and evaluate ...
