When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

The kinesthetic senses are the senses of position and movement of the body, senses we are
aware of only on introspection. A method used to study kinesthesia is muscle vibration …

Proprioception, the sense of body position, movement, and associated forces, remains
poorly understood, despite its critical role in movement. Most studies of area 2, a …

Conscious perception of limb movements depends on proprioceptive neural responses in
the somatosensory cortex. In contrast to tactile sensations, proprioceptive cortical coding is …

We previously showed that proprioceptive sensory input from the hindlimbs to the anterior
cerebellar cortex of the cat may not be simply organized with respect to a body map, but it …

From April 30th to May 4th, 2018 the Society for the Neural Control of Movement gathered
for their 28th annual meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Over 280 scientists, students, and …

Proprioception, or the sense of one's body in space, provides critical feedback that the brain
uses to generate controlled movements. When proprioceptive feedback is lost, people find it …
