Temporomandibular disorder modifies cortical response to tactile stimulation.
UNLABELLED Individuals with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) suffer from persistent facial pain and exhibit abnormal sensitivity to tactile stimulation. To better understand the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying TMD, we investigated cortical correlates of this abnormal sensitivity to touch. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we recorded cortical responses evoked by low-f...
متن کاملTactile Stimulation and Consumer Response
Tactile behavior is a basic communication form as well as an expression of interpersonal involvement. This articie presents three studies offering evidence for the positive role of casual interpersonal touch on consumer behavior. iVIore specifically, it provides initial support for the view that tactile stimulation in various consumer behavior situations enhances the positive feeling for and ev...
متن کاملResponses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملChronic HPA axis response to stress in temporomandibular disorder.
PURPOSE Perceived stress is associated with temporomandibular disorder (TMD), but whether cortisol levels are elevated in individuals with TMD is unknown. We hypothesized that cortisol concentration, a biomarker of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis function, was elevated in TMD cases relative to controls, and that perceived stress was positively correlated with cortisol concentration. ...
متن کاملThe role of electrode location and stimulation polarity in patient response to cortical stimulation for major depressive disorder.
BACKGROUND Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a neuropsychiatric condition that affects about one-sixth of the US population. Chronic epidural stimulation (EpCS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) was recently evaluated as a treatment option for refractory MDD and was found to be effective during the open-label phase. However, two potential sources of variability in the study we...
