Somatotopy in the Human Somatosensory System [PDF]
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]
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.

Modulation of the human sensorimotor system by afferent somatosensory input: evidence from experimental pressure stimulation and physiotherapy [PDF]
Peripheral afferent input is critical for human motor control and motor learning. Both skin and deep muscle mechanoreceptors can affect motor behaviour when stimulated.

Sensory supplementation system based on electrotactile tongue biofeedback of head position for balance control [PDF]
The present study aimed at investigating the effects of an artificial head position-based tongue-placed electrotactile biofeedback on postural control during quiet standing under different somatosensory conditions from the support surface. Eight young healthy adults were asked to stand as immobile as possible with their eyes closed on two Firm and Foam
