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.

Effects of methamphetamine on locomotor activity and thalamic gene expression in leptin-deficient obese mice [PDF]
, 2017 Leptin is an adipose-derived hormone that regulates energy balance. Leptin receptors are expressed in extrahypothalamic sites and several reports showed that leptin can influence feeding and locomotor behavior via direct actions on dopaminergic neurons ...

Object-guided Spatial Attention in Touch: Holding the Same Object with Both Hands Delays Attentional Selection [PDF]
, 2009 Previous research has shown that attention to a specific location on a uniform visual object spreads throughout the entire object. Here we demonstrate that, similar to the visual system, spatial attention in touch can be object guided.

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 ...

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 ...

Fine-grained nociceptive maps in primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2012 Topographic maps of the receptive surface are a fundamental feature of neural organization in many sensory systems. While touch is finely mapped in the cerebral cortex, it remains controversial how precise any cortical nociceptive map may be.

Massive cortical reorganization in sighted Braille readers
eLife, 2016 The brain is capable of large-scale reorganization in blindness or after massive injury. Such reorganization crosses the division into separate sensory cortices (visual, somatosensory...).
