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.

Functional and structural brain differences associated with mirror-touch synaesthesia [PDF]

, 2013
Observing touch is known to activate regions of the somatosensory cortex but the interpretation of this finding is controversial (e.g. does it reflect the simulated action of touching or the simulated reception of touch?).

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring for Endoscopic Endonasal Approaches to the Skull Base: A Technical Guide. [PDF]

, 2016
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during endoscopic, endonasal approaches to the skull base is both feasible and safe. Numerous reports have recently emerged from the literature evaluating the efficacy of different neuromonitoring tests during

Encoding of tactile stimuli by mechanoreceptors and interneurons of the medicinal leech

Frontiers in Physiology, 2016
For many animals processing of tactile information is a crucial task in behavioral contexts like exploration, foraging and stimulus avoidance. The leech, having infrequent access to food, developed an energy efficient reaction to tactile stimuli ...

Sensory supplementation system based on electrotactile tongue biofeedback of head position for balance control [PDF]

, 2008
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.

Development of human somatosensory cortical functions – what have we learned from magnetoencephalography: A review

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2014
The mysteries of early development of cortical processing in humans have started to unravel with the help of new noninvasive brain research tools like multichannel magnetoencephalography (MEG).

Comparison of Phase Synchronization Measures for Identifying Stimulus-Induced Functional Connectivity in Human Magnetoencephalographic and Simulated Data

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020
Phase synchronization measures are widely used for investigating inter-regional functional connectivity (FC) of brain oscillations, but which phase synchronization measure should be chosen for a given experiment remains unclear. Using neuromagnetic brain

The brain's response to pleasant touch: an EEG investigation of tactile caressing [PDF]

, 2014
Somatosensation as a proximal sense can have a strong impact on our attitude toward physical objects and other human beings. However, relatively little is known about how hedonic valence of touch is processed at the cortical level.

Dominant Patterns of Information Flow in the Propagation of the Neuromagnetic Somatosensory Steady-State Response

Frontiers in Neural Circuits, 2019
Methods of functional connectivity are applied ubiquitously in studies involving non-invasive whole-brain signals, but may be not optimal for exploring the propagation of the steady-state responses, which are strong oscillatory patterns of neurodynamics ...
