The cutaneous 'rabbit' illusion affects human primary sensory cortex somatopically [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study neural correlates of a robust somatosensory illusion that can dissociate tactile perception from physical stimulation.

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.

More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

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 ...

Mammalian somatosensory mechanotransduction [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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 ...

Bayesian Action&Perception: Representing the World in the Brain

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesBiomedicines, 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 ...

Somatosensory scaffolding structures [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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.
