The Effect of Somatosensorial System on Vestibular System
Indian Journal of Otolaryngology and Head & Neck Surgery, 2021The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the somatosensory system on the vestibular system and the interconnected ways they work together to maintain balance. The study was conducted on 54 individuals (27 females and 27 males), aged between 18-25 years. vHIT as well as cVEMP tests were used to evaluate the participants.

This chapter explains that skin is the interface between the body and the outside world. Skin is not uniformly sensitive over its surface. The chapter analyses the punctate distribution of various sensations: specific points of the skin are sensitive to touch, others are sensitive to cooling, warming, or noxious stimuli.

Representation of orientation in the somatosensory system
Behavioural Brain Research, 2002In this paper we discuss how orientation is represented and transformed in the somatosensory system. Information about stimulus orientation plays an important role in sensory processing. In touch it provides critical information about how stimuli are positioned on the hand, which is important for grasping and lifting objects. It also provides important

The Specific Somatosensory System and Dyskinesia
Archives of Neurology, 1968SEVERAL hypotheses have been proposed for the mechanism of abnormal movements, with the greatest emphasis placed upon the role of central structures. 1-3 While the importance of muscle afferents has also been stressed, 4 little attention has been paid to other peripheral receptors.

Sensing and deciding in the somatosensory system
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1999Combined psychophysical and neurophysiological experiments have revealed some of the neural codes associated with perception and processing of tactile information. Recently, intracortical microstimulation was used to demonstrate a causal link between primary cortical activity and perception.

The somatosensory system has by far the largest number of receptor types of any of the primate sensory systems, including mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors, nociceptors and thermoreceptors. The sensation of touch is mainly mediated by mechanoreceptors, but there are a number of other processing channels within the somatosensory system for proprioception,

Sensory information from body tissues such as the skin, muscles, joints and viscera reaches, the brain via two distinct routes represented by the lemniscal system and the extralemniscal or anterolateral system. Together these two pathways form the somatosensory afferent system.
