Perception of surface stickiness in different sensory modalities: an functional MRI study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Surface texture can be perceived not only from tactile, but also from auditory and visual sensory cues. In our previous psychophysical study, we demonstrated that humans can recognize surface stickiness using only one kind of sensory modality without any

A NaV1.8FlpO mouse enabling selective intersectional targeting of low threshold C fiber mechanoreceptors and nociceptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience
Genetic 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.

Higher Network Activity Induced by Tactile Compared to Electrical Stimulation of Leech Mechanoreceptors

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2018
The tiny ensemble of neurons in the leech ganglion can discriminate the locations of touch stimuli on the skin as precisely as a human fingertip. The leech uses this ability to locally bend the body-wall away from the stimulus. It is assumed that a three-

Enhancing touch sensibility by sensory retraining in a sensory discrimination task via haptic rendering

open access: yesFrontiers in Rehabilitation Sciences, 2022
Stroke survivors are commonly affected by somatosensory impairment, hampering their ability to interpret somatosensory information. Somatosensory information has been shown to critically support movement execution in healthy individuals and stroke ...

Effect of Imperceptible Vibratory Noise Applied to Wrist Skin On Fingertip Touch Evoked Potentials – An EEG Study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Random vibration applied to skin can change the sense of touch. Specifically, low amplitude white-noise vibration can improve fingertip touch perception.

A Critical Period for the Rapid Modification of Synaptic Properties at the VPm Relay Synapse

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2017
In addition to cortical areas, the thalamus also displays plasticity during a critical period in early life. Since most sensory information is transmitted to the cortex via the thalamus, it will be of significant interest to understand the precise time ...

Supraspinal characterization of the thermal grill illusion with fMRI. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundSimultaneous presentation of non-noxious warm (40°C) and cold (20°C) stimuli in an interlacing fashion results in a transient hot burning noxious sensation (matched at 46°C) known as the thermal grill (TG) illusion.

NeuroSense: A non-invasive and configurable somatosensory stimulator with OPENVIBE communication

open access: yesHardwareX
Understanding the somatosensory system and its abnormalities requires the development of devices that can accurately stimulate the human skin. New methods for assessing the somatosensory system can enhance the diagnosis, treatments, and prognosis for ...
