A somatosensory test : a pilot study
… population. The candidate decided to develop a somatosensory Test which could be used as part of a South African test of sensory integration. A test was designed and constructed, based on the model used by Ayres in the Southern California Sensory Integration Tests. This test comprises five …

Exploring lateralized sensorimotor processing using somatosensory evoked potentials
… data to support their findings. By utilizing somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) we can gain insight into the underlying neurological processes at the levels of the spinal cord and the cortex in response to movement and motor learning. The research conducted showed greater accuracy in the …

Purinergic Signalling and Potassium Homeostasis Regulate Somatosensory Adaptation
… et al., 2017). This process takes place in the somatosensory cortex and is constantly happening, but the pathway by which it occurs has not been fully elucidated. One area of interest in this process is the contribution of astrocytes. Astrocytes are part of the tripartite synapse and were …

Somatosensory Involvement in the Conceptual Representation of Objects
… on unravelling the relationship between the somatosensory system and object processing. To do this, we employed two different priming paradigms, one in which vibratory stimulation served as a prime and an object picture as the target (Experiments 1 to 4), and the other where the object was …

The Relationship Between Somatosensory Processing and Handwriting Proficiency
… is somatosensation. The contribution of somatosensory processing to handwriting proficiency has not been adequately researched. Therefore, this study evaluated the contribution of somatosensory processing to handwriting proficiency. Seventy-four typically developing second grade children …

Transcriptional control of somatosensory neuron diversification in Drosophila
Primary sensory neurons deliver information from the periphery to specific circuits in the central nervous system. It is vital that each sensory neuron detects the appropriate type of stimulus and conveys that information to appropriate regions of the sensory neuropil to target second-order …

Foot, ankle and lower limb somatosensory dysfunction in stroke
… importance and measurement of lower limb somatosensory impairments in ambulatory people with chronic stroke. Methods This thesis comprised three studies: the first, a qualitative investigation, explored the views and experiences of people with chronic stroke (n=13). This led to the second …

Non-invasive measurement of trigeminal nerve somatosensory evoked potentials
… enigmatic to substantiate clinically. Trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEPs) were posited as an indicator of trigeminal nerve conduction damage resulting from whiplash. Alternating polarity square-wave current stimuli were applied transcutaneously in the facial region. 379 recorded …

Role of mGluR5 and FMRP in mouse primary somatosensory cortex
… exaggerated in FXS (Bear et al., 2004). Primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of rodents provides an excellent model system to study the role of MR genes in development because of its stereotypic, glutamate receptor-dependent, anatomical development (Barnett et al., 2006b; Erzurumlu and Kind, 2001). …

Some principles of somatosensory cortical organization in rats and humans
This thesis research elucidated principles of somatosensory cortical al organization at the level of the receptive field, cortical map, and cortical area in the rat and human. throughout these studies, a central focus was on the connection between each level of organization and the capacity for …

Antinociceptive actions of descending catecholaminergic tracts on dorsal horn somatosensory neurones
… the nociceptive responses of multireceptive somatosensory dorsal horn neurones, whilst non-nociceptive responses, spontaneous activity and activity evoked by an ionophoretically-applied excitatory amino acid, DL-homocysteic acid were unaffected. Many of the neurones tested had long ascending …

Spatial Disorientation in Hypergravity: Implication of oculomotor, otolithic and somatosensory cues
Travelling on board of locomotion vehicles often induce sensorial stimulations which provoke perceptive illusions. These erroneous perceptions of body position were defined in the literature as spatial disorientation, which is principally considered as otolithic origin. In fact, during a forward …

Touching Autism Spectrum Disorder: Somatosensory Abnormalities in Shank3b and Cntnap2 Mouse Models
… syndrome often show dysfunctions in somatosensory processing, including disturbances in tactile sensitivity. CNTNAP2 codes for CASPR2, a transmembrane protein of the neurexin superfamily involved in neuron-glia interactions and clustering of potassium channels in myelinated axons. …

Somatosensory Map Following Stimulation of Rat Sciatic Nerve Using Polyimide Microfabricated Sieve Electrodes
… the macrosieve sieve electrode (MSE) to elicit somatosensory cortical responses in a rodent model. The MSE is a stable nerve interface that has demonstrated successful utilization in the context of efferent recruitment, but has never been observed in the context of afference.</p><p>The results …

Magnetic source imaging of tactile evoked activity in the human secondary somatosensory cortex
In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Antwort des menschlichen Gehirns auf taktile Fingerstimulation mittels Magnetoenzephalographie (MEG) untersucht. Zur Darstellung des zeitlichen Aktivitätsverlaufs im primären (SI) und sekundären (SII) somatosensorischen Kortex wurde räumlich-zeitliche …
