Hierarchical neuronal processing in primary somatosensory cortex during action observation

The paper investigates neuronal activity in primary somatosensory cortex during action observation and execution, finding hierarchical modulation patterns across cortical areas.

Protocol for intra-nerve AAV injection and dorsal root potential recording for optogenetic modulation of the peripheral sensory nerve activity

Dynamic and context-dependent modulation of proprioceptive input in primate primary motor cortex

The paper shows that proprioceptive input to primate primary motor cortex is generally gated during movement but specific antagonist muscle signals are preserved to support posture control.

Modulation of somatosensory signal transmission in the primate cuneate nucleus during voluntary hand movement

The paper shows that during voluntary movement, sensory signals are attenuated in the primate cuneate nucleus, suggesting it plays a role in modulating somatosensory transmission.
