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.

The intrinsic reason why complementary tests (clinical neurophysiology, neuroimaging, skin biopsy) cannot establish the diagnosis of neuropathic pain [PDF]
Frontiers in Pain ResearchNeuropathic pain is defined as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory nervous system. Current algorithms for neuropathic pain diagnosis include patient history, clinical examination, and complementary tests to confirm a lesion or disease

Molecular Segmentation of the Spinal Trigeminal Nucleus in the Adult Mouse Brain
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021 The trigeminal column is a hindbrain structure formed by second order sensory neurons that receive afferences from trigeminal primary (ganglionic) nerve fibers.

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).

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 ...

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 ...
