Electro-Haptic Stimulation: A New Approach for Improving Cochlear-Implant Listening

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Cochlear implants (CIs) have been remarkably successful at restoring speech perception for severely to profoundly deaf individuals. Despite their success, several limitations remain, particularly in CI users’ ability to understand speech in noisy ...

A multimodal neuroimaging study of somatosensory system [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The thesis is the result of a training by the Magnetoencephalography (MEG)-lab by the Center mind/brain science of the university of Trento. Final goal of the analysis was answering the question if MEG is capable to capture activities from the ...

Mapping the invisible hand: a body model of a phantom limb [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
After amputation, individuals often have vivid experiences of their absent limb (i.e., a phantom limb). Therefore, one’s conscious image of one’s body cannot depend on peripheral input only (Ramachandran & Hirstein, 1998).

A Scoping Review and Meta‐Analysis of Proportions of Central Nervous System Manifestations Reported in Patients with Sjögren's Disease

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objective The objective of this scoping review was to synthesize evidence on the proportion of individuals living with Sjögren's disease who experience central nervous system (CNS) manifestations. Methods We searched MEDLINE (via PubMed) and Embase from 1980 through January 29, 2026, and the ECRI Guidelines Trust from 2020 through January 29, 2026 ...

Computation identifies structural features that govern neuronal firing properties in slowly adapting touch receptors

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Touch is encoded by cutaneous sensory neurons with diverse morphologies and physiological outputs. How neuronal architecture influences response properties is unknown.

Tactile spatial attention enhances gamma-band activity in somatosensory cortex and reduces low-frequency activity in parieto-occipital areas. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
We investigated the effects of spatial-selective attention on oscillatory neuronal dynamics in a tactile delayed-match-to-sample task. Whole-head magnetoencephalography was recorded in healthy subjects while dot patterns were presented to their index ...

Bioengineered Interfaces for Peripheral Nerve Sensory Restoration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Half of amputees abandon their prosthetics for lack of feeling. This review charts the full path from peripheral nerve injury to restored sensation, through surgical, regenerative, noninvasive, and implanted approaches, and shows how injury type and interface material properties determine which strategy can deliver naturalistic feedback, and why ...

Cortical and subcortical somatosensory regulation of dopaminergic neurons: role of the superior colliculus [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Dopaminergic (DA) neurons exhibit a short-latency, phasic response to unexpected biologically salient stimuli, including rewards. Despite extensive research on this DA signal, very little is known about the sources of sensory ...
