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.

Reliability and stability of tactile perception in the whisker somatosensory system
Frontiers in NeuroscienceRodents rely on their whiskers as vital sensory tools for tactile perception, enabling them to distinguish textures and shapes. Ensuring the reliability and constancy of tactile perception under varying stimulus conditions remains a fascinating and ...

Astrocyte and Neuronal Plasticity in the Somatosensory System. [PDF]
Neural Plast, 2015 Changing the whisker complement on a rodent’s snout can lead to two forms of experience-dependent plasticity (EDP) in the neurons of the barrel cortex, where whiskers are somatotopically represented. One form, termed coding plasticity, concerns changes in synaptic transmission and connectivity between neurons.

Motor actions are spatially organized in motor and dorsal premotor cortex
eLife, 2023 Frontal motor areas are central to controlling voluntary movements. In non-human primates, the motor areas contain independent, somatotopic, representations of the forelimb (i.e., motor maps).
