Auditory input enhances somatosensory encoding and tactile goal-directed behavior
Nature Communications, 2021 Multi-sensory input can lead to dendritic integration at the single neuron level. Here the authors show that combined auditory and somatosensory input increases distal dendritic and somatic activity in layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons of the primary ...

The role of the right tempoparietal junction in the elicitation of vicarious experiences and detection accuracy while observing pain and touch [PDF]
, 2015 This study investigated the effects of observing pain and touch in others upon vicarious somatosensory experiences and the detection of subtle somatosensory stimuli.

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.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Using machine learning on a mega‐scale global dataset (n = 1,336,840) reveals a robust personality trait architecture beyond the Big Five. A Big Two model, broadly capturing social engagement and internal mentation, defines a geometric space that links personality to neurocognitive profiles.

PLoS BiologyHow the motor cortex controls movement remains a fundamental question in neuroscience. Although somatosensory input is thought to influence motor cortex activity and the execution of voluntary movements, its role in driving motor cortex activity during ...

Predictability modulates the affective and sensory-discriminative neural processing of pain [PDF]
, 2006 Knowing what is going to happen next, that is, the capacity to predict upcoming events, modulates the extent to which aversive stimuli induce stress and anxiety.

A Central Somatic Transmission Mediates Proprioceptive Facilitation of Muscle Pain
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Zhang et al. uncover a novel central mechanism for persistent muscle pain, in which TRPA1 sensitization in MeV proprioceptive neurons enhances somatic secretion. This, in turn, disinhibits descending pain control from neighboring noradrenergic locus coeruleus neurons via local GABAergic circuits, thereby promoting inflammatory muscle pain.

Phantom Sensations: What's a Brain to Do? A Critical Review of the Re-mapping Hypothesis [PDF]
, 2018 I will review the most widely held account of phantom sensations; the “re-mapping hypothesis.” According to the re-mapping hypothesis, amputation is followed by significant neural reorganization that, over time, restores the alignment between the brain’s

Voluntary movement takes shape. the link between movement focusing and sensory input gating [PDF]
, 2018 The aim of the study was to investigate the relationship between motor surround inhibition (mSI) and the modulation of somatosensory temporal discrimination threshold (STDT) induced by voluntary movement.

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
