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.

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...).

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

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.

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 ...

In Search for the Avian Trigeminal Magnetic Sensor: Distribution of Peripheral and Central Terminals of Ophthalmic Sensory Neurons in the Night-Migratory Eurasian Blackcap (Sylvia atricapilla)

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2022
In night-migratory songbirds, neurobiological and behavioral evidence suggest the existence of a magnetic sense associated with the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve (V1), possibly providing magnetic positional information. Curiously, neither the

Ageing of the somatosensory system at the periphery: age‐related changes in cutaneous mechanoreceptors

Journal of Anatomy, 2019
Decline of tactile sensation associated with ageing depends on modifications in skin and both central and peripheral nervous systems. At present, age‐related changes in the periphery of the somatosensory system, particularly concerning the effects on ...

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

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-
