the sense of touch provides us with information about objects with which we come into …

Turning touch into perception

R Romo, R Rossi-Pool - Neuron, 2020 - cell.com
Many brain areas modulate their activity during vibrotactile tasks. The activity from these
areas may code the stimulus parameters, stimulus perception, or perceptual reports. Here …

Origins of choice-related activity in mouse somatosensory cortex

H Yang, SE Kwon, KS Severson, DH O'connor - Nature neuroscience, 2016 - nature.com
During perceptual decisions about faint or ambiguous sensory stimuli, even identical stimuli
can produce different choices. Spike trains from sensory cortex neurons can predict trial-to …

The thalamostriatal projections contribute to the initiation and execution of a sequence of movements

E Díaz-Hernández, R Contreras-López… - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
One of the main inputs driving striatal activity is the thalamostriatal projection. While the

Processing of sensory, painful and vestibular stimuli in the thalamus

K Habig, HH Krämer, G Lautenschläger… - Brain Structure and …, 2023 - Springer
Objectives The thalamus plays an important role in the mediation and integration of various
stimuli (eg, somatosensory, pain, and vestibular). Whether a stimulus-specific and …

Emergence of an abstract categorical code enabling the discrimination of temporally structured tactile stimuli

R Rossi-Pool, E Salinas, A Zainos… - Proceedings of the …, 2016 - National Acad Sciences
The problem of neural coding in perceptual decision making revolves around two

Tactile sensory system: encoding from the periphery to the cortex

LA Jones, AM Smith - Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Systems …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Specialized mechanoreceptors in the skin respond to mechanical deformation and provide
the primary input to the tactile sensory system. Although the morphology of these receptors …

In the human posterior parietal cortex (PPC), single units encode high-dimensional
information with partially mixed representations that enable small populations of neurons to …

Transformation of the neural code for tactile detection from thalamus to cortex

Y Vázquez, E Salinas, R Romo - Proceedings of the …, 2013 - National Acad Sciences
To understand how sensory-driven neural activity gives rise to perception, it is essential to
characterize how various relay stations in the brain encode stimulus presence. Neurons in …
