Abstract:
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring during endoscopic, endonasal approaches to the skull base is both feasible and safe. Numerous reports have recently emerged from the literature evaluating the efficacy of different neuromonitoring tests during endonasal procedures, making them relatively well-studied. The authors report on a comprehensive, multimodality approach to monitoring the functional integrity of at risk nervous system structures, including the cerebral cortex, brainstem, cranial nerves, corticospinal tract, corticobulbar tract, and the thalamocortical somatosensory system du

Abstract:
Abstract This article is an introduction to electrodiagnosis of the peripheral nervous system, including electromyography, electroneurography (nerve conduction studies), and somatosensory evoked potentials. Electromyography involves the introduction of a special recording needle into a muscle body in search of spontaneous activity (electrical potentials that occur while the muscle is at rest). Three types of spontaneous activity are of greatest relevance: positive sharp waves, fibrillation potentials, and fasciculations. Electromyography can help assess the status of nerve fibers indirectly, b

Abstract The authors present a review of the current use of somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) in neurological practice as a non-invasive neurophysiological technique. For this purpose we have reviewed articles published in English or Portuguese in the PubMed and LILACS databases.

Accumulating observations suggest that peripheral somatosensory ganglia may regulate nociceptive transmission, yet direct evidence is sparse.

Itch is a major somatic sensation, along with pain, temperature, and touch, detected and relayed by the somatosensory system. Itch can be an acute sensation, associated with mosquito bite, or a chronic condition, like atopic dermatitis ( 29 , 59 ). The origins of the stimulus can be localized in the periphery or systemic, and associated with organ failure or cancer. Itch is also a perception originating in the brain. Itch is broadly characterized as either histamine-dependent (histaminergic) or histamine-independent (nonhistaminergic), both of which are relayed by subsets of C fibers and by th

Selective attention allows organisms to extract behaviorally relevant information while ignoring distracting stimuli that compete for the limited resources of their central nervous systems. Attention is highly flexible, and it can be harnessed to select information based on sensory modality, within-modality feature(s), spatial location, object identity, and/or temporal properties. In this review, we discuss the body of work devoted to understanding mechanisms of selective attention in the somatosensory system.

Abstract:
Star-nosed moles are somatosensory specialists that explore their environment with 22 appendages that ring their nostrils. The appendages are covered with sensory domes called Eimer's organs. Each organ is associated with a Merkel cell–neurite complex, a lamellated corpuscle, and a series of 5–10 free nerve endings that form a circle of terminal swellings. Anatomy and electrophysiological recordings suggest that Eimer's organs detect small shapes and textures. There are parallels between the organization of the mole's somatosensory system and visual systems of other mammals. The centre of the

Abstract:
Neuropathic pain is caused by a damage to or dysfunction of the somatosensory nervous system. The main mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain include ectopic activity in nociceptive nerves, peripheral and central sensitization, impaired inhibitory modulation, and microglial activation. Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) make up a large family of growth factors that mediate neural development, metabolism, and function through three main key signaling pathways, including RAS/MAP kinase pathway, PI3 kinase/Akt pathway, and PLCγ. An association between the members of the FGF system and the

Abstract:
The simple tripartite classification of sensory neurons as A-beta, A-delta, and C fibers fails to convey the complexity of the neurons that encode stimuli as diverse as the texture of a surface, the location of a pinprick, or the direction of hair movement as a breeze moves across the skin. It has also proven to be inadequate when investigating the molecular mechanisms underlying pain, which can encompass any combination of chemical, tactile, and thermal modalities. Beginning with a brief overview of visceral and sensory neuroanatomy, this review expands upon sensory innervation of the skin as

Abstract:
AbstractMitochondrial toxins represent an interesting group of neurotoxicants related both to causation and modelling of central nervous damage. 3-nitropropionic acid (3NP), a neurotoxin of herbal and microfungal origin, inhibits succinate dehydrogenase leading thereby to various biochemical and morphological alterations in the brain. Experimental animals treated by 3NP are used to model Huntington’s disease. Manganese, often present in occupational settings and as environmental pollutant, inhibits complex II and III of the mitochondria and is known to cause Parkinson-like CNS damage. In this

Abstract:
Background:Kennedy's disease (KD) is an X-linked recessive polyglutamine disease. Traditionally, it is a lower motor neuron syndrome with additional features such as gynecomastia and tremor. Sensory symptoms are minimal if ever present. We used multimodal evoked potential (EPs) tests to study the distribution of the involvement of the disease.Methods:Visual, brainstem auditory, somatosensory and motor EPs were studied in six KD patients. All of them had typical presentations and had been proved genetically.Results:Abnormal findings were noted as follows: prolonged peak latencies of visual EPs,

Abstract:
The objective of the study was to analyze how the brain shaping provided by the sensorimotor rhythm protocol (SMR), applied on somatosensory areas, affects pain, sleep and the quality of life in women with fibromyalgia. Thirty-seven women with fibromyalgia who received an SMR protocol in 20 sessions participated and were evaluated before and after treatment. The data showed an increase in the amplitude of the SMR (p= .026) and a decrease in the amplitude of the theta band (p= .011) in the somatosensory cortex after the application of therapy, which caused an increase in the SMR/theta ratio (p=

Abstract:
Sensory gating (SG), referring to an attenuated neural response to the second identical stimulus, is considered as preattentive processing in the central nervous system to filter redundant sensory inputs. Insufficient somatosensory SG has been found in the aged adults, particularly in the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII). However, it remains unclear which variables leading to the age-related somatosensory SG decline. There has been evidence showing a relationship between brain oscillations and cortical evoked excitability. Thus, this study used whole-head magnetoencephalography to record r

Abstract The three components of electrodiagnosis useful in evaluation of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord include electromyography (EMG), electroneurography (nerve conduction studies), and somatosensory evoked potentials. EMG examination involves introduction of a special recording needle into a muscle belly. Electrical potentials located within a few millimeters of the needle are picked up by an electrode and are transmitted from the muscle to amplifiers that filter and display results visually for the electromyographer.
