The Somatotopy of Mental Tactile Imagery

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019
To what degree mental imagery (MI) bears on the same neuronal processes as perception has been a central question in the neurophysiological study of imagery.

Neurogenic Hypotension and Bradycardia Modulated by Electroacupuncture in Hypothalamic Paraventricular Nucleus

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Electroacupuncture (EA) stimulates somatic median afferents underlying P5-6 acupoints and modulates parasympathoexcitatory reflex responses through central processing in the brainstem.

Is Recovery of Somatosensory Impairment Conditional for Upper-Limb Motor Recovery Early After Stroke?

open access: yesNeurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2020
Background. Spontaneous recovery early after stroke is most evident during a time-sensitive window of heightened neuroplasticity, known as spontaneous neurobiological recovery.

Perceptual and Conceptual Distortions of Implicit Hand Maps

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Recent studies have revealed that human position sense relies on a massively distorted representation of hand size and shape. By comparing the judged location of landmarks on an occluded hand, Longo and Haggard (2010) constructed implicit perceptual maps

Gratifying Gizmos for Research and Clinical MEG

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2022
Experimental designs are of utmost importance in neuroimaging. Experimental repertoire needs to be designed with the understanding of physiology, clinical feasibility, and constraints posed by a particular neuroimaging method.

Microglia contact induces synapse formation in developing somatosensory cortex

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Microglia are the immune cells of the central nervous system that play important roles in brain pathologies. Microglia also help shape neuronal circuits during development, via phagocytosing weak synapses and regulating neurogenesis.

Heart–brain interactions shape somatosensory perception and evoked potentials

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019
Significance Our brain continuously receives signals from the body and the environment. Although we are mostly unaware of internal bodily processes, such as our heartbeats, they can affect our perception.

The effectiveness of proprioceptive training for improving motor function: a systematic review

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015
Objective: Numerous reports advocate that training of the proprioceptive sense is a viable behavioral therapy for improving impaired motor function. However, there is little agreement of what constitutes proprioceptive training and how effective it is ...

From anatomy to function: the role of the somatosensory cortex in emotional regulation

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Psiquiatria, 2018
Since the pioneering work of Penfield and his colleagues in the 1930s, the somatosensory cortex, which is located on the postcentral gyrus, has been known for its central role in processing sensory information from various parts of the body.

Somatosensory prior entry [PDF]

open access: yesAttention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2009
The perceived timing of sensory events does not necessarily match the actual timing. In the present study, we investigated the effect of location of attention on the perceived timing of somatosensory stimuli. Participants judged the temporal order of two taps, delivered one to each hand, with taps presented at different elevations (upper and lower) on ...
