Scientific Reports, 2023 While inattentional blindness and deafness studies have revealed neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) without the confound of task relevance in the visual and auditory modality, comparable studies for the somatosensory modality are lacking.

Brain oxygenation patterns during the execution of tool use demonstration, tool use pantomime, and body-part-as-object tool use [PDF]
, 2015 © 2015 Elsevier B.V. Divergent findings exist whether left and right hemispheric pre- and postcentral cortices contribute to the production of tool use related hand movements. In order to clarify the neural substrates of tool use demonstrations with tool

High frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex modulates sensorimotor cortex function in the transition to sustained muscle pain [PDF]
, 2019 Based on reciprocal connections between the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and basal-ganglia regions associated with sensorimotor cortical excitability, it was hypothesized that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the left ...

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).

Monosynaptic connections between pairs of spiny stellate cells in layer 4 and pyramidal cells in layer 5A indicate that lemniscal and paralemniscal afferent pathways converge in the infragranular somatosensory cortex. [PDF]
, 2005 Monosynaptic interlaminar connections between spiny stellate cells in layer 4 (L4), the main cortical recipient layer for thalamic projections, and pyramidal cells in layer 5A (L5A), one of the main cortical output layers, were examined anatomically and ...

Effect of Prenatal Valproic Acid Exposure on Cortical Morphology in Female Mice
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 We have recently shown that prenatal valproic acid (VPA) exposure causes autism spectrum disorders–like behavioral abnormalities and Nissl-positive cell loss in both prefrontal and somatosensory cortices in male mice.

NMDA receptors control development of somatosensory callosal axonal projections
eLife, 2021 Callosal projections from primary somatosensory cortex (S1) are key for processing somatosensory inputs and integrating sensory-motor information. How the callosal innervation pattern in S1 is formed during early postnatal development is not clear.

Induced oscillatory signaling in the beta frequency of top-down pain modulation [PDF]
, 2020 Background: Induced synchronized brain activity, particularly in the beta-frequency range, has rarely been investigated in human electrophysiological studies of attentional modulation of the perception of nociceptive stimuli.

Rich spatio-temporal stimulus dynamics unveil sensory specialization in cortical area S2
Nature Communications, 2018 Sensory tuning properties of neurons in the secondary whisker somatosensory cortex (wS2) are not well understood. Here, the authors report that wS2 neurons supralinearly integrate concurrent multi-whisker input with larger temporal windows than primary ...
