Somatosensory scaffolding structures [PDF]
Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2012 Dynamic changes in somatosensory perception occur as a result of multiple signaling events. In many instances, over-activation of sensory receptors results in the desensitization and subsequent increased threshold for activation of receptors. In other cases, receptor sensitization can occur following tissue injury and/or inflammation.

Bayesian Action&Perception: Representing the World in the Brain
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2014 Theories of perception seek to explain how sensory data are processed to identify previously experienced objects, but they usually do not consider the decisions and effort that goes into acquiring the sensory data.

Shared Patterns of Brain Functional Connectivity for the Comorbidity between Migraine and Insomnia
Biomedicines, 2021 Migraine is commonly comorbid with insomnia; both disorders are linked to functional disturbance of the default mode network (DMN). Evidence suggests that DMN could be segregated into multiple subnetworks with specific roles that underline different ...

Closed-Loop Deep Brain Stimulation for Refractory Chronic Pain
Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience, 2018 Pain is a subjective experience that alerts an individual to actual or potential tissue damage. Through mechanisms that are still unclear, normal physiological pain can lose its adaptive value and evolve into pathological chronic neuropathic pain ...

Illusory Motion Reversal in Touch
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019 Psychophysical visual experiments have shown illusory motion reversal (IMR), in which the perceived direction of motion is the opposite of its actual direction. The tactile form of this illusion has also been reported.

Optimizing Movement Performance with Altered Sensation: An Examination of Multisensory Inputs
Brain Sciences, 2023 Two experiments were conducted to assess the impact of induced paresthesia on movement parameters of goal-directed aiming movements to determine how visual and auditory feedback may enhance performance when somatosensory feedback is disrupted.

Mammalian somatosensory mechanotransduction [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2009 In the mammalian somatosensory system, mechanosensitive neurons mediate the senses of touch and pain. Among sensory modalities, mechanosensation has been the most elusive with regard to the identification of transduction molecules. One factor that has hindered the identification of transduction molecules is the diversity of neurons; physiological ...

Two Mechanisms of Sensorimotor Set Adaptation to Inclined Stance
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 Orientation of posture relative to the environment depends on the contributions from the somatosensory, vestibular, and visual systems mixed in varying proportions to produce a sensorimotor set.

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.

Perceptually relevant remapping of human somatotopy in 24 hours
eLife, 2016 Experience-dependent reorganisation of functional maps in the cerebral cortex is well described in the primary sensory cortices. However, there is relatively little evidence for such cortical reorganisation over the short-term.
