Oral somatosensory awareness [PDF]

Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2014
Oral somatosensory awareness refers to the somatic sensations arising within the mouth, and to the information these sensations provide about the state and structure of the mouth itself, and objects in the mouth. Because the oral tissues have a strong somatosensory innervation, they are the locus of some of our most intense and vivid bodily experiences.

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

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 ...

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.

Sensory Electrical Stimulation Improves Foot Placement during Targeted Stepping Post-Stroke [PDF]

, 2014
Proper foot placement is vital for maintaining balance during walking, requiring the integration of multiple sensory signals with motor commands. Disruption of brain structures post-stroke likely alters the processing of sensory information by motor ...

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.

Anatomically and functionally distinct thalamocortical inputs to primary and secondary mouse whisker somatosensory cortices

Nature Communications, 2020
Subdivisions of mouse whisker somatosensory thalamus project to cortex in a region-specific and layer-specific manner. However, a clear anatomical dissection of these pathways and their functional properties during whisker sensation is lacking.

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 ...
