Somatotopy in the Human Somatosensory System [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2018 Previous functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have demonstrated digit somatotopy in primary somatosensory cortex (SI), and even shown that at high spatial resolution it is possible to resolve within-digit somatotopy. However, fMRI studies

Potential mechanisms of acupuncture for neuropathic pain based on somatosensory system [PDF]
Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022 Neuropathic pain, caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system, is common and distressing. In view of the high human and economic burden, more effective treatment strategies were urgently needed.

Targeting the somatosensory system with AAV9 and AAV2retro viral vectors. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2022 Adeno-associated viral (AAV) vectors allow for site-specific and time-dependent genetic manipulation of neurons. However, for successful implementation of AAV vectors, major consideration must be given to the selection of viral serotype and route of ...

Modulation of the human sensorimotor system by afferent somatosensory input: evidence from experimental pressure stimulation and physiotherapy [PDF]
Biomedical Papers, 2020 Peripheral afferent input is critical for human motor control and motor learning. Both skin and deep muscle mechanoreceptors can affect motor behaviour when stimulated.

Somatosensory system integrity explains differences in treatment response after stroke. [PDF]
Neurology, 2019 Objective To test the hypothesis that, in the context of robotic therapy designed to enhance proprioceptive feedback via a Hebbian model, integrity of both somatosensory and motor systems would be important in understanding interparticipant differences ...

Acute microglia ablation induces neurodegeneration in the somatosensory system. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 Previous studies have reported that microglia depletion leads to impairment of synapse formation and these cells rapidly repopulate from CNS progenitors.

Coding of Apparent Motion in the Thalamic Nucleus of the Rat Vibrissal Somatosensory System [PDF]
Journal of Neuroscience, 2012 While exploring objects, rats make multiple contacts using their whiskers, thereby generating complex patterns of sensory information. The cerebral structures that process this information in the somatosensory system show discrete patterns of ...

Perceptual learning with tactile stimuli in rodents: Shaping the somatosensory system. [PDF]
Learn Behav, 2017 The animal kingdom contains species with a wide variety of sensory systems that have been selected to function in different environmental niches, but that are also subject to modification by experience during an organism’s lifetime.
