a tactile stimulator for studying motion processing in the Somatic Sensory System of primates
Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 1993Co-Authors: Ranulfo Romo, Salvador Ruiz, Patricia Crespo, Steven S HsiaoAbstract:Abstract A tactile stimulator was built for studying motion processing in the Somatic Sensory System of primates. This stimulator is used for assessing the responses of neurons of the Somatic Sensory System to stimuli moving in any traverse distance (range: 2–20 mm), with a variety of velocities (range: 4–120 mm/s), forces (range: 0–60 gf), and in any scanning direction. The stimulator is highly automated and can be used in combined psychophysical and neurophysiological studies in humans and in behaving monkeys

Sporadic motor neuron disease with severe Sensory neuronopathy
Acta Neuropathologica, 1998Co-Authors: K. Wakabayashi, Y. Horikawa, Mutsuo Oyake, Shoji Suzuki, Takashi Morita, Hitoshi TakahashiAbstract:We report a 62-year-old man with sporadic motor neuron disease (MND) of 52 months’ duration with progressive Sensory disturbance and high cerebrospinal fluid protein content. Neuropathologically, both the upper and lower motor neuron Systems were severely affected, and light and electron microscopy revealed Bunina bodies and skein-like inclusions, which are characteristic of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in the remaining anterior horn cells. Moreover, there was severe degeneration without inflammatory infiltrates in the spinal posterior columns, spinal ganglia, and peripheral Sensory nerves. These findings suggest that this case may be an unusual variant of sporadic MND with severe Somatic Sensory System involvement.

does sexual dysfunction correlate with deterioration of Somatic Sensory System in diabetic women
International Journal of Impotence Research, 2003Co-Authors: Bulent Erol, Ahmet Tefekli, Oner Sanli, Orhan Ziylan, Abdullah Armagan, Muammer Kendirci, D Eryasar, Ates KadiogluAbstract:To evaluate genital and extragenital Somatic Sensory System in diabetic women using biothesiometry and investigate the relation with sexual dysfunction. A total of 30 diabetic women and 20 normal sexually active women as a control group were evaluated with a detailed medical and sexual history including Index of Female Sexual Function (IFSF) questionnaire. Somatic Sensory System of all women enrolled to the study was assessed by biothesiometry and threshold Sensory values of nine genital sites and 14 extragenital sites were analyzed. The IFSF score in diabetic women was 23.6 while it was 38.3 in the control group (<0.0005). For each genital as well as extragenital sites, the mean biothesiometric values were significantly higher in diabetics. The sensation of introitus vagina, labium minora and clitoris were found to be the most deteriorated genital sites in diabetic women. The difference between diabetic women with or without female sexual dysfunction (FSD) was not significant for biothesiometric values. Our data indicate that, Somatic Sensory System is affected by diabetes however sexual dysfunction does not always manifest.
