  2. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    The somatosensory cortex encodes incoming sensory information from receptors all over the body. Affective touch is a type of sensory information that elicits an emotional reaction and is usually social in nature, such as a physical human touch. This type of information is actually coded differently than other sensory information.

  3. Secondary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_somatosensory_cortex

    S2 is colored green and the insular cortex brown in the top right image (coronal section) of the human brain. S1 is green in the top left, and the supplementary somatosensory area is green in the bottom left. The human secondary somatosensory cortex (S2, SII) is a region of sensory cortex in the parietal operculum on the ceiling of the lateral ...

  4. Sacral plexus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sacral_plexus

    In human anatomy, the sacral plexus is a nerve plexus which provides motor and sensory nerves for the posterior thigh, most of the lower leg and foot, and part of the pelvis. It is part of the lumbosacral plexus and emerges from the lumbar vertebrae and sacral vertebrae (L4-S4). [ 1 ]

  5. Postcentral gyrus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postcentral_gyrus

    In neuroanatomy, the postcentral gyrus is a prominent gyrus in the lateral parietal lobe of the human brain.It is the location of the primary somatosensory cortex, the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch.

  6. Neuropathic pain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuropathic_pain

    Nerve decompressions are associated with a significant reduction in pain, in some cases the complete elimination of pain. [64] [58] [59] For patients with diabetic peripehral neuropathy (which affects 30% of diabetes patients [65]) and superimposed nerve compression, this may be treatable with multiple nerve decompressions.

    The fourth compartment contains the nucleus and is a continuation of the IS region, known as the nuclear region. Finally, the fifth compartment is the synaptic region, where it acts as a final terminal for the signal, consisting of synaptic vesicles. In this region, glutamate neurotransmitter is transmitted from the cell to secondary neuron cells.

    After synapsing in the thalamus and traversing the internal capsule, the N20 is recorded over the somatosensory cortex contralateral to the wrist stimulated, corresponding to arrival of the nerve impulses at the primary somatosensory region. [3] Posterior tibial nerve stimulation at the ankle gives rise to a similar series of subsequent peaks ...
