The sense of touch and proprioception are critical to movement control. After spinal cord injury, these senses may be restored with direct, electrical microstimulation of the brain as part of a ...

Nucleus has reduced the standard annual charge on its Wrap platform by three basis points for holdings between £200,000 and £500,000.

Sensory loss from the hand and arm has consequences throughout the somatosensory-motor system. In the cuneate nucleus of the lower brainstem, an initial station of processing, a histological ...

To make matters worse, the cuneate nucleus is nestled in the brain stem, surrounded by vital brain regions that, if damaged, can lead to death.

Perception is the outcome of the sequential processing of sensory signals at multiple stages along the neuraxis. The conventional view is that tactile signals are processed predominantly in the ...

They used a combination of tools in mice to study cells within a small area in the brainstem called the cuneate nucleus, which is the first area signals from the hand enter the brain. While it was ...

“The cuneate nucleus is often referred to as a relay station, as if information was just passing through it,” says Staff Researcher James Conner, first author of the new paper.

"The cuneate nucleus is often referred to as a relay station, as if information was just passing through it," says Staff Researcher James Conner, first author of the new paper.

Researchers have identified how specific neurons in the cuneate nucleus help filter distracting information to coordinate dexterous movements. The findings have implications for the development of new ...

Sensory-guided limb control relies on communication across sensorimotor loops. For active touch with the hand, the longest loop is the transcortical continuation of ascending pathways, particularly ...
