Detection thresholds to step indentations applied to touch domes were measured and compared with threshold values obtained on adjacent areas of hairy skin. The mean of the detection thresholds determined on touch domes for five subjects was 504 +/- 27 microns (SEM). The detection thresholds found of
Recent studies suggest the existence of a visuo-tactile mirror system, comprising the primary (SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortices, which matches observed touch with felt touch. Here, repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was used to determine whether SI or SII play a functi
Human brain acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) were sequentially extracted, first with a Tris-saline buffer (S,) and then with 1% (wlv) Triton X-100 (S,). About 20 and 30% of the AChE and BuChE activities were recovered in S, and most of the remaining enzymes in S,. Main m
