Research involving nonhuman primates (NHPs) has played a vital role in many of the
medical and scientific advances of the past century. NHPs are used because of their …

Sensory gating (SG) is a well-studied phenomenon in which neural responses are reduced
to identical stimuli presented in succession, and is thought to represent the functional …

Background Alzheimer's disease (AD) is generally thought to spare primary sensory
function; however, such interpretations have drawn from a literature that has rarely taken into …

Collection of multiple-task brain imaging data from the same subject has now become
common practice in medical imaging studies. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective …

Sensory gating, a mandatory process in early information processing, has been found to be
defective in neuropsychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia. Understanding the …

Objective Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are a characteristic symptom of
schizophrenia. Although low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) …

Inhibiting the responses to irrelevant stimuli is an essential component of human cognitive
function. Pre-attentive auditory sensory gating (SG), an attenuated neural activation to the …

We currently have a substantial knowledge gap in our understanding of the
neurophysiological underpinnings of the sensory perception deficits often reported in the …

One in two survivors experience impairment in touch sensation after stroke. The nature of
this impairment is likely associated with changes associated with the functional …

Primary somatosensory (SI) cortical inhibition to repetitive stimuli tends to decline with
increasing age. However, aging effects on the inhibition mechanism of secondary …
