Although dexterity relies on the constant transmission of sensory information, unchecked
feedback can be disruptive. Yet how somatosensory feedback from the hands is regulated …

The slow oscillation (SO) generated within the corticothalamic system is composed of active
and silent states. The studies of response variability during active versus silent network …

Medial lemniscal activity decreases before and during movement, suggesting prethalamic
modulation, but the underlying mechanisms are largely unknown. Here we studied the …

Chronic injury of the main somatosensory pathways ascending along the spinal cord-the
dorsal columns and the spinothalamic tract-can produce both changes in the organization of …

The basis of rhythmic activity observed at the dorsal column nuclei (DCN) is still open to
debate. This study has investigated the electrophysiological properties of isolated DCN …

This work aimed to study the responses of cuneothalamic and thalamocortical cells to
electrical stimulation of the body surface in α‐chloralose‐anaesthetized cats. It was found …

We present a neurorobotic framework to investigate tactile information processing at the
early stages of the somatosensory pathway. We focus on spatiotemporal coding of first and …

While the response properties of neurons in the somatosensory nerves and anterior parietal
cortex have been extensively studied, little is known about the encoding of tactile and …

The ascending cutaneous transmission through the middle cuneate nucleus is subject to
cortico-feedback modulation. This work studied the intracuneate cellular mechanisms …

Somatosensory signals undergo substantial modulation in the dorsal column nuclei. We
examined transmission of signals from forelimb afferents in primate cuneate and external …
