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

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.

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.

The 'creatures' of the human cortical somatosensory system. [PDF]
Brain Commun, 2020 Abstract Penfield’s description of the ‘homunculus’, a ‘grotesque creature’ with large lips and hands and small trunk and legs depicting the representation of body-parts within the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), is one of the most prominent contributions to the neurosciences.

Aging of the Somatosensory System: A Translational Perspective [PDF]
Physical Therapy, 2007 Balance in the elderly population is a major concern given the often catastrophic and disabling consequences of fall-related injuries. Structural and functional declines of the somatosensory system occur with aging and potentially contribute to postural instability in older adults.

Dynamic of the somatosensory system in postherpetic neuralgia. [PDF]
Pain Rep, 2018 Abstract Introduction: In postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) different types of patients can be distinguished regarding their predominant peripheral nociceptor function. Objective: The aim was to examine somatosensory profiles in the course of disease with special regard to the ...
