Perception and control of upper limb movement: Insights gained by analysis of sensory and motor variability

Clinical research has presented evidence that chronic neck-shoulder pain is associated with impairments of proprioception (perception of limb position and movement without vision and touch) and motor control. Thus, assessment of proprioceptive and motor function of the upper limb may be powerful tools both for research and clinical practice. However, insufficient knowledge of certain features o...

Baroreceptor stimulation: pain perception and sensory thresholds.

Baroreceptor activity has been implicated in the modulation of pain. Sensory detection thresholds and pain ratings were measured in a group of 28 men during carotid baroreceptor manipulation with the PRES (phase-related external suction) neck suction technique. Brief, cardiac phase-related electrical impulses were delivered intracutaneously to the finger. The results indicate that minimum baror...

Peripheral optogenetic stimulation induces whisker movement and sensory perception in head-fixed mice

We discovered that optical stimulation of the mystacial pad in Emx1-Cre;Ai27D transgenic mice induces whisker movements due to activation of ChR2 expressed in muscles controlling retraction and protraction. Using high-speed videography in anesthetized mice, we characterize the amplitude of whisker protractions evoked by varying the intensity, duration, and frequency of optogenetic stimulation. ...
