Because the oral tissues have a strong somatosensory innervation, they are the locus of some of our most intense and vivid bodily experiences. The salient pain of toothache, or the hab...
متن کاملRecurrent neural processing and somatosensory awareness.
The neural mechanisms of stimulus detection, despite extensive research, remain elusive.

متن کاملTouch and the Body : The Role of the Somatosensory Cortex in Tactile Awareness
This review addresses the role of early sensory areas in the awareness of tactile information in humans. The results of recent studies dealing with this important topic are critically discussed: In particular, we report on evidence from neuropsychology, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and behavioral experiments that have highlighted the crucial role played by the primary somatosensory cortex (SI...
متن کاملSomatosensory attention identifies both overt and covert awareness in disorders of consciousness.
OBJECTIVE Some patients diagnosed with disorders of consciousness retain sensory and cognitive abilities beyond those apparent from their overt behavior. Characterizing these covert abilities is crucial for diagnosis, prognosis, and medical ethics. This multimodal study investigates the relationship between electroencephalographic evidence for perceptual/cognitive preservation and both overt an...
