Robot-based hand motor therapy after stroke. (2007, background): “Furthermore, given the central role that hand movements normally play in human existence (Porter and Lemon, 1993; Wilson, 1998; Wing et al., 1998; Connolly, 1999; Mountcastle, 2005), much attention in rehabilitation research has been focused on understanding and restoring hand motor function after s”
Bursting of thalamic neurons and states of vigilance. (2006, background): “…recurrence and temporal binding properties, may be viewed as creating the complex combinatorial sensory-motor landscape (Kersten and Yuille 2003; Llinás 2001; Mountcastle 1998, 2005; Steriade 2001a) required for the elaboration of the intentionality that characterizes vertebrate behavior.”
Talking about tactile experiences (2013, background): “Rapidly-adapting fibers detect the transients of skin deformation, discharging only at the onset and at the removal of a stimulus whereas slowlyadapting fibers detect sustained skin deformation, discharging at stimulus onset and also if stimulus persists [24].”
