Myelin remodeling through experience-dependent oligodendrogenesis in the adult somatosensory cortex
Nature Neuroscience, 2018 Oligodendrocyte generation in the adult CNS provides a means to adapt the properties of circuits to changes in life experience. However, little is known about the dynamics of oligodendrocytes and the extent of myelin remodeling in the mature brain. Using

The brain's response to pleasant touch: an EEG investigation of tactile caressing [PDF]
, 2014 Somatosensation as a proximal sense can have a strong impact on our attitude toward physical objects and other human beings. However, relatively little is known about how hedonic valence of touch is processed at the cortical level.

Tactile-STAR: A Novel Tactile STimulator And Recorder System for Evaluating and Improving Tactile Perception [PDF]
, 2018 Many neurological diseases impair the motor and somatosensory systems. While several different technologies are used in clinical practice to assess and improve motor functions, somatosensation is evaluated subjectively with qualitative clinical scales ...

Functional and structural brain differences associated with mirror-touch synaesthesia [PDF]
, 2013 Observing touch is known to activate regions of the somatosensory cortex but the interpretation of this finding is controversial (e.g. does it reflect the simulated action of touching or the simulated reception of touch?).

Fine-grained nociceptive maps in primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2012 Topographic maps of the receptive surface are a fundamental feature of neural organization in many sensory systems. While touch is finely mapped in the cerebral cortex, it remains controversial how precise any cortical nociceptive map may be.

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 ...

, 2003 Pain may appear to undermine the radically intentionalist view that the phenomenal character of any experience is entirely constituted by its representational content. That appearance is illusory.
