Rapid enhancement of touch from non-informative vision of the hand [PDF]
, 2012 Processing in one sensory modality may modulate processing in another. Here we investigate how simply viewing the hand can influence the sense of touch. Previous studies showed that non-informative vision of the hand enhances tactile acuity, relative to ...

Neural coding of tactile decisions in the human prefrontal cortex [PDF]
, 2006 The neural processes underlying tactile decisions in the human brain remain elusive. We addressed this question in a functional magnetic resonance imaging study using a somatosensory discrimination task, requiring participants to compare the frequency of

Neurocutaneous system: Is the skin a big eye with deep brain connections?
Dermatology ReportsTraditionally recognised as the body’s largest organ, the skin acts as a protective barrier and primary sensory interface with the external environment. Recent advances in dermatology and neuroscience have revealed a sophisticated neuroendocrine network ...

Frontiers 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-

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

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

, 2020 A hierarchical system through the somatosensory cortex builds representations of touch and of the positions of the limbs in space up through parietal cortex areas 5 and 7b, where the system is interfaced to the visual system for the computations involved in reaching into space and grasping objects.

Frontiers 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 ...

Neurophysiological, behavioral and morphological abnormalities in the Fabry knockout mice
Neurobiology of Disease, 2009 Fabry disease (OMIM 301500) is a rare X-linked recessive disorder caused by mutations in the α-galactosidase gene (GLA). Loss of α-galactosidase (α-Gal) activity leads to the abnormal accumulation of glycosphingolipids in lysosomes predominantly of ...
