Review: Do the Different Sensory Areas within the Cat Anterior Ectosylvian Sulcal Cortex Collectively Represent a Network Multisensory Hub? [PDF]
Current theory supports that the numerous functional areas of the cerebral cortex are organized and function as a network. Using connectional databases and computational approaches, the cerebral network has been demonstrated to exhibit a hierarchical ...

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

Human Somatosensory Processing and Artificial Somatosensation
In the past few years, we have gained a better understanding of the information processing mechanism in the human brain, which has led to advances in artificial intelligence and humanoid robots.

Neurophysiological, behavioral and morphological abnormalities in the Fabry knockout mice
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 ...

Articulating: the neural mechanisms of speech production [PDF]
Speech production is a highly complex sensorimotor task involving tightly coordinated processing across large expanses of the cerebral cortex. Historically, the study of the neural underpinnings of speech suffered from the lack of an animal model.

Effect of Imperceptible Vibratory Noise Applied to Wrist Skin On Fingertip Touch Evoked Potentials – An EEG Study [PDF]
Random vibration applied to skin can change the sense of touch. Specifically, low amplitude white-noise vibration can improve fingertip touch perception.

Tonic (slowly adapting) and phasic (rapidly adapting) primary afferents convey complementary aspects of haptic information to the central nervous system: object location and texture the former, shape the latter. Tonic and phasic neural responses are also
