Cortical and subcortical somatosensory regulation of dopaminergic neurons: role of the superior colliculus [PDF]
, 2011 Dopaminergic (DA) neurons exhibit a short-latency, phasic response to unexpected biologically salient stimuli, including rewards. Despite extensive research on this DA signal, very little is known about the sources of sensory ...

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2014 In our experiments, we removed a major source of activation of somatosensory cortex in mature monkeys by unilaterally sectioning the sensory afferents in the dorsal columns of the spinal cord at a high cervical level.

More than skin deep: body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2010 The neural circuits underlying initial sensory processing of somatic information are relatively well understood. In contrast, the processes that go beyond primary somatosensation to create more abstract representations related to the body are less clear.

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 ...

A multimodal neuroimaging study of somatosensory system [PDF]
, 2022 The thesis is the result of a training by the Magnetoencephalography (MEG)-lab by the Center mind/brain science of the university of Trento. Final goal of the analysis was answering the question if MEG is capable to capture activities from the ...

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...).

A supramodal representation of the body surface [PDF]
, 2011 The ability to accurately localize both tactile and painful sensations on the body is one of the most important functions of the somatosensory system.

Frontiers in Molecular NeuroscienceGenetic targeting of select populations of cells in the mouse nervous system is often hampered by a lack of selectivity, as candidate genes for such targeting are commonly expressed by multiple cell populations, also in the same region.

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 ...
