Reliability and stability of tactile perception in the whisker somatosensory system [PDF]
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.

Representation of Object Size in the Somatosensory System [PDF]
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2006 In this study we investigate the haptic perception of object size. We report the results from four psychophysical experiments. In the first, we ask subjects to discriminate the size of objects that vary in surface curvature and compliance while changing contact force.

Somatosensory Deficits After Stroke: Insights From MRI Studies
Frontiers in Neurology, 2022 Somatosensory deficits after stroke are a major health problem, which can impair patients' health status and quality of life. With the developments in human brain mapping techniques, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), many studies have ...

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).
