New research, in fact, demonstrates that the percept of time embodied within a tactile experience is rooted in the dual ...

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 ...

Phantom limb pain following amputation correlates with primary somatosensory cortex (S1) reorganization. Wrigley et al. hypothesized that a similar mechanism underlies persistent neuropathic pain ...

We show that optical imaging allows for the differentiation between activations of single finger representations in the primary somatosensory cortex (SI). Methodologically our findings confirm results ...

The demonstration that human thermosensory cortex is located in insular cortex, rather than in parietal somatosensory areas, is significant for several reasons. This directly confirms the ...

nch.imed.uni-erlangen.de Objective: Intraoperative localisation of the sensorimotor cortex using the phase reversal of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) is an essential tool for surgery in and ...

Interleukin-1 (IL-1) is a key molecule involved in inflammation and plays an important role in both healthy and diseased states.

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 ...
