The Somatosensory Link in Fibromyalgia: Functional Connectivity of the Primary Somatosensory Cortex Is Altered by Sustained Pain and Is Associated With Clinical/Autonomic Dysfunction

Arthritis & Rheumatology, 2015
Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic functional pain syndrome characterized by widespread pain, significant pain catastrophizing, sympathovagal dysfunction, and amplified temporal summation for evoked pain.

Changes in Intrinsic Activity of the Primary Somatosensory Cortex Causally Explain Differences in Emotion Perception in Autism

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by certain difficulties in emotion‐related processing. Recent research using electroencephalography (EEG) to measure somatosensory evoked potentials during emotion perception has shown reduced embodiment of emotional expressions in autistic compared to neurotypical individuals, independently from

Seeing Is Not Feeling: Posterior Parietal But Not Somatosensory Cortex Engagement During Touch Observation

Journal of Neuroscience, 2015
Observing touch has been reported to elicit activation in human primary and secondary somatosensory cortices and is suggested to underlie our ability to interpret other's behavior and potentially empathy. However, despite these reports, there are a large

Altered Brain Structure in an ATRX‐Deficient Mouse Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mutations in the ATRX gene are a primary cause of alpha‐thalassemia intellectual disability X‐linked (ATRX) syndrome, which is characterized by intellectual disability, autism, and a range of brain structural abnormalities, including microcephaly.

Force stimulation promotes nerve regeneration by restoring cellular energy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Mechanical stimulation can help nerves regenerate in various ways. We developed two devices (a piezo‐motor‐driven stretching device and a SAW‐based actuator) to apply mechanical stimulation to sciatic nerve and DRG neurons. Our study shows that appropriate mechanical force stimulation can promote regeneration by restoring the energy supply to the ...

Neuronal Correlates of Tactile Working Memory in Prefrontal and Vibrissal Somatosensory Cortex

Cell Reports, 2019
Summary: Tactile working memory engages a broad network of cortical regions in primates. To assess whether the conclusions drawn from primates apply to rodents, we examined the vibrissal primary somatosensory cortex (vS1) and the prelimbic cortex (PL) in

Transforming Brain Health With Neurotechnology Convergence (Part II): Intelligent Neurointervention Systems for Neurological Disorders

Brain Health, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Neurological disorders represent a critical domain within global health, necessitating advanced interventions to address complex pathologies such as tumors, functional disorders, and cerebrovascular diseases. Despite the proven benefits of early intervention, current treatment paradigms face significant challenges: (1) limited precision in ...

Sentience in cephalopod molluscs: an updated assessment

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article evaluates the evidence for sentience – the capacity to have feelings – in cephalopod molluscs: octopus, cuttlefish, squid, and nautilus. Our framework includes eight criteria, covering both whether the animal's nervous system could support sentience and whether their behaviour indicates sentience.

Somatosensory processing of the tongue in humans

Frontiers in Physiology, 2010
We review research on somatosensory (tactile) processing of the tongue based on data obtained using non-invasive neurophysiological and neuroimaging methods.
