Deciphering the neural signature of human cardiovascular regulation

eLife, 2020
Cardiovascular regulation is integral to life. Animal studies have identified both neural and endocrine pathways, by which the central nervous system adjusts cardiac output and peripheral vascular resistance to changing physiological demands. The outflow

Imaging Real-Time Tactile Interaction With Two-Person Dual-Coil fMRI

Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020
Studies of brain mechanisms supporting social interaction are demanding because real interaction only occurs when persons are in contact. Instead, most brain imaging studies scan subjects individually.

Neural excitability and sensory input determine intensity perception with opposing directions in initial cortical responses

eLife, 2021
Perception of sensory information is determined by stimulus features (e.g., intensity) and instantaneous neural states (e.g., excitability). Commonly, it is assumed that both are reflected similarly in evoked brain potentials, that is, larger amplitudes ...

Myotubularin related protein-2 and its phospholipid substrate PIP2 control Piezo2-mediated mechanotransduction in peripheral sensory neurons

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 ...

The brain-body disconnect: A somatic sensory basis for trauma-related disorders

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Although the manifestation of trauma in the body is a phenomenon well-endorsed by clinicians and traumatized individuals, the neurobiological underpinnings of this manifestation remain unclear.

Contrasting action and posture coding with hierarchical deep neural network models of proprioception

eLife, 2023
Biological motor control is versatile, efficient, and depends on proprioceptive feedback. Muscles are flexible and undergo continuous changes, requiring distributed adaptive control mechanisms that continuously account for the body’s state. The canonical

A new perceptual paradigm to investigate the visual remapping of others’ tactile sensations onto one’s own body shows "mirror touch" for the hands

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
The last two decades have seen a multitude of publications showing the activation of an observer's somatosensory cortical system during the observation of touch on another person.

A Tactile Virtual Reality for the Study of Active Somatosensation

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2020
Natural exploration of textures involves active sensing, i.e., voluntary movements of tactile sensors (e.g., human fingertips or rodent whiskers) across a target surface.

Functional diversity of supragranular GABAergic neurons in the barrel cortex

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2012
Although the neocortex forms a distributed system comprised of several functional areas, its vertical columnar organization is largely conserved across areas and species, suggesting the existence of a canonical neocortical microcircuit.

Sisymbrium Officinale (the Singers’ Plant) as an Ingredient: Analysis of Somatosensory Active Volatile Isothiocyanates in Model Food and Drinks

Foods, 2021
Sisymbrium officinale (L.) Scop. (hedge mustard) is a wild common plant of the Brassicaceae family. It is known as “the singers’ plant” for its traditional use in treating aphonia and vocal disability.
