The following is a summary of “A safety and feasibility randomized placebo controlled trial exploring electroencephalographic ...

UChicago scientists are making major progress on a technology designed to give nuanced “feeling” to prosthetic hands, by ...

In disease, high levels of IL-1 in the brain are linked to neuroinflammation, which can disrupt the body's stress response, cause sickness-like behaviors, worsen inflammation by activating brain ...

Using genetically modified mice, researchers identified neurons in certain brain areas such as the somatosensory cortex, hippocampus and others, which have neuronal IL-1R1. Most of these neurons ...

The paper is titled "Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex." The researchers, who are all part of the US-based Cortical Bionics Research Group, have ...

The article, Tactile edges and motion via patterned microstimulation of the human somatosensory cortex, was published in Science. The researchers involved in the study are Giacomo Valle ...

Any condition that affects the optic nerves or disrupts the visual pathways to the visual cortex in the brain can affect the brain’s VEP. You may need additional tests to rule out other conditions.

A research team at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed that parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) preferentially encode ...

HU Li at the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has revealed that parvalbumin (PV) interneurons in the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) preferentially encode pain ...

Discussion: This study demonstrates that somatosensory stimulation, combining electrical and mechanical stimuli, can improve MI capability and enhance the excitability of the sensorimotor cortex in ...

The aim of this study was to determine the predictive yield of upper limb short latency somatosensory evoked potential (USEP) in patients with first stroke in the dominant hemisphere. Nineteen ...
