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.

Caloric vestibular stimulation reduces pain and somatoparaphrenia in a severe chronic central post-stroke pain patient: a case study [PDF]
, 2016 Central post-stroke pain is a neuropathic syndrome characterized by intolerable contralesional pain and, in rare cases, somatic delusions. To date, there is limited evidence for the effective treatments of this disease.

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 ...

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).

Tactile-STAR: A Novel Tactile STimulator And Recorder System for Evaluating and Improving Tactile Perception [PDF]
, 2018 Many neurological diseases impair the motor and somatosensory systems. While several different technologies are used in clinical practice to assess and improve motor functions, somatosensation is evaluated subjectively with qualitative clinical scales ...
