Thalamic microcircuitry: neurons, synapses, and circuit motifs in receptive field structure and sensory processing

Our perception of the world is first shaped by the thalamus, a structure composed of many nuclei in the center of our brains. Different nuclei hold different responsibilities - vision (dorsal lateral genicular nucleus; dLGN), audition (medial geniculate nu ...

Anatomical and functional characterization of neocortical circuits involved in transforming whisker sensory processing into goal-directed licking

Georgios Foustoukos

The choice of an action upon perception of an external stimulus, arriving at a sensory organ of an animal, depends on previous experiences and outcomes throughout its life. In the rodent brain, the underlying mechanisms involved in simple sensorimotor tran ...

Sensorimotor conflicts induce somatic passivity and louden quiet voices in healthy listeners

Olaf Blanke, Nathan Quentin Faivre, Giulio Rognini, Oliver Alan Kannape, Pavo Orepic

Sensorimotor conflicts are known to alter the perception of accompanying sensory signals, and deficits in sensory attenuation have been observed in schizophrenia. In the auditory domain, self-generated tones or voices (compared to tones or voices presented ...

Electronic Skins for Healthcare Monitoring and Smart Prostheses

Stéphanie Lacour, Laurent Mirko Dejace, Haotian Chen

The human skin is a unique organ that embeds multiple functions that no artificial systems can currently replicate. Advances in materials science and engineering are driving the design of electronic skins-large-area sensor arrays that mimic some sensory mo ...

Altered anterior default mode network dynamics in progressive multiple sclerosis

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Maria Giulia Preti, Giulia Bommarito, Anjali Bagunu Tarun, Younes Farouj

Background: Modifications in brain function remain relatively unexplored in progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS), despite their potential to provide new insights into the pathophysiology of the disease at this stage. Objectives: To characterize the dynamic ...

During capsaicin-induced central sensitization, brush allodynia is associated with baseline warmth sensitivity, whereas mechanical hyperalgesia is associated with painful mechanical sensibility, anxiety and somatization

Anne-Christine Schmid

Background Mechanical hyperalgesia and allodynia incidence varies considerably amongst neuropathic pain patients. This study explored whether sensory or psychological factors associate with mechanical hyperalgesia and brush allodynia in a human experimenta ...

Computational model of the dorsal horn circuitry for innocuous touch

Silvestro Micera, Simone Romeni

Providing a naturalistic tactile sensory feedback is currently one of the key challenges in neuroprosthetics. Modeling has played a fundamental role in the development of "biomimetic" stimulation protocols, determining optimal activation patterns to be eli ...

Neuronal Circuits In Barrel Cortex For Whisker Sensory Perception

Carl Petersen

The array of whiskers on the snout provides rodents with tactile sensory information relating to the size, shape and texture of objects in their immediate environment. Rodents can use their whiskers to detect stimuli, distinguish textures, locate objects a ...

Predictive brain: Addressing the level of representation by reviewing perceptual hysteresis

David Pascucci

In recent years, the idea that the prediction of sensory input is one of the major computational goals of the nervous system led to the development of several large-scale theories of brain functioning, such as different versions of the Bayesian approach to ...

Soft Touch using Soft Pneumatic Actuator-Skin as a Wearable Haptic Feedback Device

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar, Jian-Lin Huang

Understanding the external environment depends heavily on vision, audition, and touch. Like vision and audition, the human sense of touch is complex. Tactile perception is composed of multiple fundamental and physical experiences felt as changes in stiffne ...
