The homuncular jigsaw: investigations of phantom limb and body awareness following brachial plexus block or avulsion [PDF]
, 2019 Many neuropsychological theories agree that the brain maintains a relatively persistent representation of one's own body, as indicated by vivid "phantom" experiences.

Pushing the Limits: Cognitive, Affective, and Neural Plasticity Revealed by an Intensive Multifaceted Intervention. [PDF]
, 2016 Scientific understanding of how much the adult brain can be shaped by experience requires examination of how multiple influences combine to elicit cognitive, affective, and neural plasticity.

Normalization in human somatosensory cortex
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2015 Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to measure activity in human somatosensory cortex and to test for cross-digit suppression. Subjects received stimulation (vibration of varying amplitudes) to the right thumb (target) with or without concurrent stimulation of the right middle finger (mask).

Role of Somatosensory Cortex in Visuospatial Attention [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2013 The human somatosensory cortex (S1) is not among the brain areas usually associated with visuospatial attention. However, such a function can be presumed, given the recently identified eye proprioceptive input to S1 and the established links between gaze and attention.

Thickening in the somatosensory cortex of patients with migraine [PDF]
Neurology, 2007 To examine morphologic changes in the somatosensory cortex (SSC) of patients with migraine.Cortical thickness of the SSC of patients with migraine was measured in vivo and compared with age- and sex-matched healthy subjects. The cohort was composed of 24 patients with migraine, subdivided into 12 patients who had migraine with aura, 12 patients who had

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

Excitability of the motor cortex in patients with migraine changes with the time elapsed from the last attack [PDF]
, 2017 BACKGROUND: Motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) produced by single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the motor cortex can be an objective measure of cortical excitability.

Correspondence of MRI and nTMS With EDSS in Multiple Sclerosis: Longitudinal Follow‐Up Study
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objectives Considering the characteristics of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease and its impact on motor disability, this study aims to assess the functional integrity of the corticospinal tract by examining motor evoked potentials (MEPs), Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion counts, and ...

Cortical Excitability Before and After Long‐Term Perampanel Treatment for Epilepsy
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Antiseizure medications (ASMs), which may influence cortical excitability, are the mainstay of epilepsy treatment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) helps evaluate cortical excitability. We assessed changes in TMS responses using serial TMS measurements in people treated with an adjunctive noncompetitive AMPA‐receptor ...
