Innervation Patterns of Sea Otter (Enhydra lutris) Mystacial Follicle-Sinus Complexes
Sea otters (Enhydra lutris) are the most recent group of mammals to return to the sea, and may exemplify divergent somatosensory tactile systems among mammals.

Large-scale changes in cortical dynamics triggered by repetitive somatosensory electrical stimulation. [PDF]
BackgroundRepetitive somatosensory electrical stimulation (SES) of forelimb peripheral nerves is a promising therapy; studies have shown that SES can improve motor function in stroke subjects with chronic deficits.

A Vertically‐Stacked Optoelectronic Sensor for Localized Hemodynamics Monitoring
This work introduces a hemodynamics monitoring sensor that features vertically stacked microLEDs and a heterogeneously integrated photodetector. The vertically stacked microLEDs enable localized measurements, and by designing the interoptode distance according to the depth of the target region, this vertically stacked optoelectronic sensor is ...

Nociceptive-Evoked Potentials Are Sensitive to Behaviorally Relevant Stimulus Displacements in Egocentric Coordinates. [PDF]
Feature selection has been extensively studied in the context of goal-directed behavior, where it is heavily driven by top-down factors. A more primitive version of this function is the detection of bottom-up changes in stimulus features in the ...

Somatosensory cortices are required for the acquisition of morphine-induced conditioned place preference. [PDF]
BACKGROUND:Sensory system information is thought to play an important role in drug addiction related responses. However, how somatic sensory information participates in the drug related behaviors is still unclear.

Supraspinal characterization of the thermal grill illusion with fMRI. [PDF]
BackgroundSimultaneous presentation of non-noxious warm (40°C) and cold (20°C) stimuli in an interlacing fashion results in a transient hot burning noxious sensation (matched at 46°C) known as the thermal grill (TG) illusion.

Perception of surface stickiness in different sensory modalities: an functional MRI study [PDF]
Surface texture can be perceived not only from tactile, but also from auditory and visual sensory cues. In our previous psychophysical study, we demonstrated that humans can recognize surface stickiness using only one kind of sensory modality without any

Caloric vestibular stimulation: interaction between somatosensory system and vestibular apparatus
Spatial and bodily representations are multisensory processes that imply the integration of several afferent signals into a coherent internal model of our egocentric space.

A compact, wireless neural stimulator featuring a novel tapping inductor enables selective and independent stimulation of the motor cortex in rats via a single receiver coil. This minimally invasive system effectively reduces neuropathic pain through targeted cortical activation, offering a new avenue for bioelectronic pain therapies and advancing ...
