Cognitive neuroscience: the neural basis of motor learning by observing by Lametti, D, Watkins, K

“…A recent study shows that motor learning can be accomplished purely through observation, and motor learning by observing also critically depends on the brain's somatosensory system.…”

The physiology and psychology of selective attention to touch by Johansen-Berg, H, Lloyd, DM

“…However, a number of studies have suggested that there is a hierarchy to attentional modulation in the somatosensory system, with the greatest effects being observed in secondary and association areas.…”

Neuropathic pain by Colloca, L, Ludman, T, Bouhassira, D, Baron, R, Dickenson, A, Yarnitsky, D, Freeman, R, Truini, A, Attal, N, Finnerup, N, Eccleston, C, Kalso, E, Bennett, D, Dworkin, R, Raja, S

“…Neuropathic pain is caused by a lesion or disease of the somatosensory system, including peripheral fibres (Aβ, Aδ and C fibres) and central neurons, and affects 7-10% of the general population. …”

Systems biology approaches to finding novel pain mediators. by Antunes-Martins, A, Perkins, JR, Lees, J, Hildebrandt, T, Orengo, C, Bennett, D

“…Chronic pain represents a major health burden; this maladaptive pain state occurs as a consequence of hypersensitivity within the peripheral and central components of the somatosensory system. High throughput technologies (genomics, transciptomics, lipidomics, and proteomics) are now being applied to tissue derived from pain patients as well as experimental pain models to discover novel pain mediators. …”

Neurons in the primate orbitofrontal cortex respond to fat texture independently of viscosity. by Verhagen, J, Rolls, E, Kadohisa, M

“…These findings provide evidence that the neurons respond to the oral texture of fat, sensed by the somatosensory system. Use of an oral viscosity stimulus consisting of carboxymethyl-cellulose in the range 1-10,000 centipoise (cP) showed that the responses of these fat-sensitive neurons are not related to stimulus viscosity. …”

Transfer of tactile perceptual learning to untrained neighbouring fingers reflects natural use relationships. by Dempsey-Jones, H, Harrar, V, Oliver, J, Johansen-Berg, H, Spence, C, Makin, T

“…Tactile learning transfers from trained to untrained fingers in a pattern that reflects overlap between the representations of fingers in the somatosensory system (e.g. neurons with multi-finger receptive fields). …”

Neuropathic pain: an updated grading system for research and clinical practice by Finnerup, N, Haroutounian, S, Kamerman, P, Baron, R, Bennett, D, Bouhassira, D, Cruccu, G, Freeman, R, Hansson, P, Nurmikko, T, Raja, S, Rice, A, Serra, J, Smith, B, Treede, R, Jensen, T

“… <p style="text-align:justify;"> The redefinition of neuropathic pain as “pain arising as a direct consequence of a lesion or disease affecting the somatosensory system,” which was suggested by the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) Special Interest Group on Neuropathic Pain (NeuPSIG) in 2008, has been widely accepted. …”

Cohort profile: DOLORisk Dundee: a longitudinal study of chronic neuropathic pain by Hébert, HL, Veluchamy, A, Baskozos, G, Fardo, F, Van Ryckeghem, DML, Pascal, MMV, Jones, C, Milburn, K, Pearson, ER, Crombez, G, Bennett, DLH, Meng, W, Palmer, CNA, Smith, BH

“…<strong>Purpose</strong> Neuropathic pain is a common disorder of the somatosensory system that affects 7%–10% of the general population. …”

Effects of cardamonin alleviate hyperalgesia and allodynia with possible involvement of monoaminergic pathways in chronic constriction injury-induced neuropathic pain mice model by Kaswan, Nur Khalisah

“…Neuropathic pain is chronic pain caused by the nerve's injury that accompanied with changes in the somatosensory system which is normally presented with hyperalgesia and allodynia. …”

Electrolyte-gated neuromorphic transistors for brain-like dynamic computing by He, Yongli, Jiang, Shanshan, Chen, Chunsheng, Wan, Changjin, Shi, Yi, Wan, Qing

“…Then dynamic synaptic plasticity, dynamic dendritic integration, dynamic neural functions, and bio-inspired somatosensory systems realized based on the electrolyte-gated neuromorphic transistors are presented. …”
