Somatosensory prior entry [PDF]

Attention, 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 ...

Plasticity in mammalian somatosensory cerebellar maps [PDF]

, 1996
The organization of sensory maps in mammalian brains can change following peripheral injury or experience. Such plasticity has been demonstrated for somatotopic somatosensory maps in various cortical and subcortical areas. In contrast to somatotopic maps,

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.

Site-specific differences in the association between plantar tactile perception and mobility function in older adults

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2014
Introduction Impaired somatosensation is common in older adults and contributes to age-related loss of mobility function. However, little is known about whether somatosensation at different sites on the plantar surface of the foot are differentially ...

Somatotopic Arrangement of the Human Primary Somatosensory Cortex Derived From Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to estimate neuronal activity in the primary somatosensory cortex of six participants undergoing cutaneous tactile stimulation on skin areas spread across the entire body.

The Somatotopy of Mental Tactile Imagery

Frontiers 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

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