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.

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 ...

Beyond somatosensation: Mrgprs in mucosal tissues
Neuroscience Letters, 2021 Mas-related G coupled receptors (Mrgprs) are a superfamily of receptors expressed in sensory neurons that are known to transmit somatic sensations from the skin to the central nervous system. Interestingly, Mrgprs have recently been implicated in sensory and motor functions of mucosal-associated neuronal circuits.

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.

Utility and lower limits of frequency detection in surface electrode stimulation for somatosensory brain-computer interface in humans [PDF]
, 2020 Objective: Stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has been successful in evoking artificial somatosensation in both humans and animals, but much is unknown about the optimal stimulation parameters needed to generate robust percepts of ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study provides a translational approach for linking neural activity to tactile deficits in autism. By combining psychophysics with cortical recordings in a mouse model of autism, we show that low signal‐to‐noise ratio in somatosensory neurons weakens population encoding of fine touch, impairing detection, decoding, and leading to perceptual ...

Somatosensation assessment using the NIH Toolbox [PDF]
Neurology, 2013 Touch sensation is one element of sensory function. As such, somatosensation is one of the sensory domains included in the NIH Toolbox, which is an assessment battery for measuring a range of human functions including emotional health, sensation, cognition, and motor function.

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 ...

Do synaesthesia and mental imagery tap into similar cross-modal processes? [PDF]
, 2019 Synaesthesia has previously been linked with imagery abilities, although an understanding of a causal role for mental imagery in broader synaesthetic experiences remains elusive.

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 ...
