  1. 1. Validation of the Effectiveness of a Sensory Discrimination Training Device

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Malin Lehander; [2022]
    Keywords : Sensory training; Phantom limb pain; Mindful sensory motor training; Amputation; Pain treatment;

    Abstract : Successful treatment alternatives for chronic pain conditions are limited. One type of chronic pain that can occur is the condition of phantom limb pain, which can occur after the loss of a limb. Many studies have researched the correlation between chronic pain, tactile acuity, and cortical reorganization. READ MORE

  3. 2. Differential gene expression profiling of chromatin-modifying enzymes and remodeling factors in the rat motor cortex after motor skill training

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Parisa Rabiei Far; [2012]
    Keywords : epigenetics; procedural memory; Smyd1.;

    Abstract : Fine motor skills are learned through repetitive practice and once learned, last for a long time. Skilled reaching is linked to structural and functional changes in multiple brain regions including, in particular, the primary motor cortex. READ MORE

  4. 3. The affects of exercise and brain plasticity, discussed in relation to Functional oriented Music Therapy; a theoretical study

    University essay from Institutionen för kommunikation och information

    Author : Josefine Carlsson; [2007]
    Keywords : Functional oriented music therapy; exercise; sensory integration; neurogenesis; plasticity; cortical reorganization;

    Abstract : Abstract This essay examines which role functional oriented music therapy, which is supposed to help sensorimotor development, can have in schools and in health care. To find this out, research about what kinds of effects exercise can have on academic achievements and in recovery from brain injuries has been brought up. READ MORE

  5. 4. Cortical Plasticity : A Model of Somatosensory Cortex

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Kognitionsvetenskap

    Author : Magnus Johnson; [2004]
    Keywords : numerical analysis; Computer science; neurophysiological systems; somatosensory cortex; cortical plasticity; systems; control; Datalogi; numerisk analys; system; kontroll; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : After nerve injuries, e.g. following a reimplantation of an accidentally cut hand, nerve fibres grows together again but will be misconnected. This implies an incorrectly mapping of the hand in somatosensory cortex. READ MORE
