Microglia contact induces synapse formation in developing somatosensory cortex
Nature Communications, 2016 Microglia are the immune cells of the central nervous system that play important roles in brain pathologies. Microglia also help shape neuronal circuits during development, via phagocytosing weak synapses and regulating neurogenesis.

Etiology of phantom limb syndrome: Insights from a 3D default space consciousness model [PDF]
, 2015 In this article, we examine phantom limb syndrome to gain insights into how the brain functions as the mind and how consciousness arises. We further explore our previously proposed consciousness model in which consciousness and body schema arise when ...

The cutaneous rabbit illusion affects human primary sensory cortex somatotopically.
PLoS Biology, 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.

Supraspinal characterization of the thermal grill illusion with fMRI. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundSimultaneous presentation of non-noxious warm (40°C) and cold (20°C) stimuli in an interlacing fashion results in a transient hot burning noxious sensation (matched at 46°C) known as the thermal grill (TG) illusion.

The causal role of the somatosensory cortex in prosocial behaviour
eLife, 2018 Witnessing another person’s suffering elicits vicarious brain activity in areas that are active when we ourselves are in pain. Whether this activity influences prosocial behavior remains the subject of debate.

Neocortical substrates of feelings evoked with music in the ACC, insula, and somatosensory cortex
Scientific Reports, 2021 Neurobiological models of emotion focus traditionally on limbic/paralimbic regions as neural substrates of emotion generation, and insular cortex (in conjunction with isocortical anterior cingulate cortex, ACC) as the neural substrate of feelings.

Human perception of electrical stimulation on the surface of somatosensory cortex
PLoS ONE, 2017 Recent advancement in electrocorticography (ECoG)-based brain-computer interface technology has sparked a new interest in providing somatosensory feedback using ECoG electrodes, i.e., cortical surface electrodes.
