Sensorimotor incongruence and body perception: an experimental investigation
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Objectives: Several studies have shown that mirrored arm or leg movements are related to altered body sensations. This includes the alleviation of chronic pain using congruent mirror feedback and the induction of abnormal sensation in healthy ...

A novel sensor design for accurate measurement of facial somatosensation in pre-term infants. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Facial somatosensory feedback is critical for breastfeeding in the first days of life. However, its development has never been investigated in humans. Here we develop a new interface to measure facial somatosensation in newborn infants.

History of early life adversity is associated with increased food addiction and sex-specific alterations in reward network connectivity in obesity. [PDF]
, 2019 Background:Neuroimaging studies have identified obesity-related differences in the brain's resting state activity. An imbalance between homeostatic and reward aspects of ingestive behaviour may contribute to obesity and food addiction.

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 ...

Somatosensory cortices are required for the acquisition of morphine-induced conditioned place preference. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Sensory system information is thought to play an important role in drug addiction related responses. However, how somatic sensory information participates in the drug related behaviors is still unclear.
