Computational modeling reveals biological mechanisms underlying the whisker flick EEG
iScienceSummary: Whisker flick stimulation is a commonly used protocol to investigate somatosensory processing in rodents. Neural activity evoked by whisker flicks produces a characteristic electroencephalography (EEG) waveform known as a somatosensory evoked ...

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 ...

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2016 Enlarged cortical components of somatosensory evoked potentials (giant SEPs) recorded by electroencephalography (EEG) and abnormal somatosensory evoked magnetic fields (SEFs) recorded by magnetoencephalography (MEG) are observed in the majority of ...

EEG During Pedaling: Evidence for Cortical Control of Locomotor Tasks [PDF]
, 2013 Objective: This study characterized the brain electrical activity during pedaling, a locomotor-like task, in humans. We postulated that phasic brain activity would be associated with active pedaling, consistent with a cortical role in locomotor tasks ...

DIAGNOSTIC VALUE OF SOMATOSENSORY EVOKED POTENTIALS IN CERVICAL MYELOPATHY
The Iraqi Journal of Medical Sciences, 2016 Background:Cervical myelopathy is a condition caused by narrowing of the spinal canal leading to cord dysfunction. The most common causes are congenital stenosis and degenerative stenosis caused by spondylosis.

Review: Do the Different Sensory Areas within the Cat Anterior Ectosylvian Sulcal Cortex Collectively Represent a Network Multisensory Hub? [PDF]
, 2018 Current theory supports that the numerous functional areas of the cerebral cortex are organized and function as a network. Using connectional databases and computational approaches, the cerebral network has been demonstrated to exhibit a hierarchical ...

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]
, 2012 The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.

Pain-related Somato Sensory Evoked Potentials: A potential new tool to improve the prognostic prediction of coma after cardiac arrest [PDF]
, 2015 INTRODUCTION: Early prediction of a good outcome in comatose patients after cardiac arrest still remains an unsolved problem. The main aim of the present study was to examine the accuracy of middle-latency SSEP triggered by a painful electrical ...

Experimental muscle hyperalgesia modulates sensorimotor cortical excitability, which is partially altered by unaccustomed exercise [PDF]
, 2018 Impaired corticomotor function is reported in patients with lateral epicondylalgia, but the causal link to pain or musculotendinous overloading is unclear.

The somatosensory side of the affordance: How seeing an object influences touch
NeuroImageObject perception is inherently multisensory, as the brain integrates information across sensory modalities to facilitate the interaction with them. This intrinsic ‘action potential’ of objects is described by the concept of affordance, which refers to ...
