Diversity of intrinsic frequency encoding patterns in rat cortical neurons : mechanisms and possible functions [PDF]

, 2010
Extracellular recordings of single neurons in primary and secondary somatosensory cortices of monkeys in vivo have shown that their firing rate can increase, decrease, or remain constant in different cells, as the external stimulus frequency increases ...

Atypical Cerebellar Responses are Associated with Altered Neural Habituation during Sensory Stimulation in Autism

Autism Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sensory processing atypicalities are highly prevalent in autistic youth; yet, the neural mechanisms underlying these differences are not well understood. While the cerebellum plays a key role in sensorimotor coordination and is structurally and functionally atypical in the autistic brain, it has been overlooked in research investigating ...

Investigating the effects of excitatory and inhibitory somatosensory rTMS on somatosensory functioning in the acute and subacute phases of stroke: a preliminary double-blind and randomized trial

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience
BackgroundRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) has a potential effect on somatosensory functioning following a stroke.

Reflex seizures and epilepsy surgery: A network approach case‐based exploration

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Context Reflex seizures (RS) are defined by their consistent provocation by specific stimuli, encompassing a broad range from elementary sensory inputs to complex cognitive tasks. While RS are often encountered in clinical practice, their surgical management remains sparsely reported and poorly systematized.

Difference in cortical activation during use of volar and dorsal hand splints: a functional magnetic resonance imaging study

Neural Regeneration Research, 2016
There have been no studies reported on the difference in cortical activation during use of volar and dorsal hand splints. We attempted to investigate the difference in cortical activation in the somatosensory cortical area during use of volar and dorsal ...

KBG syndrome: A scoping review of electroclinical features of patients with epilepsy

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives KBG syndrome is a rare autosomal developmental disorder caused by pathogenic variants of the ANKRD11 gene. This scoping review aimed to explore all current literature data regarding clinical and electroencephalographic features of patients with KBG syndrome and epilepsy. Materials and Methods We conducted a literature

Synchrony within Aβ mechanoreceptor subtypes governs signal propagation to primary somatosensory cortex. [PDF]

J Physiol
Abstract figure legend We used an optogenetic gain‐of‐function manipulation to investigate how sensory signals from two subtypes of Aβ low threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) contribute to the cortical representation of touch. CatCh, a sensitive and fast channelrhodopsin variant, enables pulsed‐light generation of high‐frequency action potential trains ...

Vascular Gap Junctions Contribute to Forepaw Stimulation-Induced Vasodilation Differentially in the Pial and Penetrating Arteries in Isoflurane-Anesthetized Rats

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
Somatosensory stimulation causes dilation of the pial and penetrating arteries and an increase in cerebral blood flow (CBF) in the representative region of the somatosensory cortex. As an underlying mechanism for such stimulation-induced increases in CBF,

Direct cortical stimulation–evoked symptoms in the human temporal pole: A systematic review

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract The temporal pole represents a key node within temporolimbic networks and may contribute to seizure generation in temporal lobe epilepsy. Direct cortical stimulation (DCS), performed during intracranial presurgical evaluation, is a valuable method for delineating the seizure onset zone by reproducing electro‐clinical features of a patient's ...
