The effects of peripheral nerve impairments on postural control and mobility among people with peripheral neuropathy
… peripheral nerves, especially the degenerative somatosensory system. To date, there is no effective medical treatment for the disease but pain managements. The deficits of postural control decrease the life quality of this population. The degeneration of peripheral nerves reduces sensory inputs …

Somatosensory Involvement in the Conceptual Representation of Objects
The involvement of the sensorimotor system in visual object processing is at the forefront of cognitive neuroscience research. Since the discovery of the mirror neuron system, a plethora of research has been dedicated to understanding how action influences cognition. Of particular interest to the …

Encoding of periodic skin stimuli by spinal dorsal horn neurons
… encoding of vibrotactile pitch by neurons of the somatosensory system has been investigated at many levels of the neuraxis. These studies, however, have not extended to the spinal dorsal horn, which is known to process low threshold mechanoreceptive input. The studies presented here were designed …

Gabapentinoids for treatment of neuropathic pain: a medicines usage evaluation at the Groote Schuur hospital chronic pain management clinic
… as pain caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system, affects 6.9 – 10 % of people worldwide. Pregabalin is currently recommended as a first line drug for NP in South Africa. Methods A cross-sectional retrospective descriptive medicines usage evaluation (MUE) of Pregabalin at …

Slow Touch and Fast Nociception: Exploration of the Interactions Between Noxious and Innocuous Mechanical Touch Sensation
… C afferent fibres. The discovery of a system of LTMR afferents that are C-fibres has challenged this view and led to the recognition of a second ‘slow’ touch pathway, a pathway that has an affective rather than discriminative function (McGlone, Wessberg and Olausson, 2014). Conversely, …

THE EFFCT OF LOW-LEVEL LEAD ON SEROTONIN EXPRESSION IN THE DEVELOPING MOUSE SUPERIOR OLIVARY COMPLEX AND SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX
… processing. The developing central nervous system is particularly susceptible to Pb exposure, and Pb decreases the immunoreactivity of serotonin (5-HT) and VMAT2 in the lateral superior olive (LSO). During early developmental, "non-serotonergic" sensory neurons, including LSO neurons and …

Somatotopic Organization Of The Mammalian Pain System And Developmental Mechanisms
… meet separate functional requirements. For the somatosensory system (which mediates sensation from the skin including touch, pain, and related modalities), the distal limbs have special behavioral importance for exploration and object manipulation. Accordingly, the hands and fingertips show …

Neuronal Correlates of Reward Contingency in the Rat Thalamocortical System
… anesthetized animals, neuronal activity in the somatosensory system has been extensively described over the past century. However, it is still unclear how the different thalamocortical structures contribute to active tactile discrimination and represent relevant features of the stimulus. It is …

Subcortical Inputs Governing Cortical Network Activity
… inputs in different cortical layers of the rat somatosensory system. Mammalian brains generate internal activity independent of environmental stimuli. Internally generated states may bring about distinct cortical processing modes. To investigate how brain state impacts cortical circuitry, we …

Vibration intensity difference thresholds
… skin have been modelled by ‘channels’ within the somatosensory system that predict the effects of vibration frequency, vibration magnitude, vibration duration and contact conditions. Difference thresholds are less well understood and there is little knowledge of their dependence on vibration …

Der Effekt des Alterns auf funktionelle Deaktivierung im somatosensorischen System
… eine messbare Aktivierung des somatosensiblen Systems. Neben den positiven BOLD-Signal-Änderungen im contralateralen, primären Kortex gibt es jedoch zunehmend Hinweise, dass negative BOLD-Antworten während dieser Stimulation ebenfalls auftreten können. Obwohl in der Literatur allgemein die …
