  1. 1. Thin-fibre signalling in humans: Cortical processing of sensory afference and autonomic efference

    Författare :Karin Rylander; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :CT afferent; thin fibre; autonomic; insula; fMRI;

    Sammanfattning : Thin nerve fibres innervate the entire human body and mediate sensations such as pain, temperature and visceral sensory input. Moreover, a special class of unmyelinated afferents responsive to light touch has recently been found in humans: C-tactile (CT) fibres. LÄS MER

  3. 2. I feel terrible! Can you measure that? : Exploring psychophysiological stress responses and their interactions with performance, subjective reports and health status

    Författare :Anna Sjörs; Torbjörn Falkmer; Björn Gerdle; Britt Larsson; Ulf Lundberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :psychophysiology; motion sickness; chronic pain; stressor; performance; autonomic responses; HPA axis; MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Sammanfattning : Despite recent research advances, there are still several common medical conditions whose underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. In conditions with few or diffuse physical findings, it can be difficult to diagnose and determine the state of the condition and its effects on working ability or performance, and the health care practitioners have to rely on the patient’s self-reports.

  4. 3. Hedonic, neural, and autonomic responses to prolonged gentle touch

    Författare :Chantal Triscoli; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; long-lasting touch; CT afferents; pleasantness; liking; wanting; satiety; orbitofrontal cortex; reward; heart rate variability;

    Sammanfattning : Physical contact among individuals, such as caressing and cuddling, is connoted by a strong emotional value, and is usually perceived as a pleasant and rewarding experience. C tactile (CT) afferents are a class of fibres that are specific channels for detecting touch at a caress-like veloc-ity (between 1 and 10 cm/s). LÄS MER

  5. 4. Autonomic nervous system regulation in chronic neck-shoulder pain : Relations to physical activity and perceived stress

    Författare :David Hallman; Eugene Lyskov; Bengt Arnetz; Ewa Wigaeus Tornqvist; Allan Toomingas; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Autonomic imbalance; Daily physical activity; Trapezius myalgia; Treatment; Parasympathetic; Sympathetic;

    Sammanfattning : Neck-shoulder pain (NSP) is a highly prevalent musculoskeletal disorder with unclear causes, and effective prevention and treatment require a further understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Aberrant autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulation is a hypothesized causal element in the development and maintenance of chronic muscle pain. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Emotional and physiological responses to touch massage

    Författare :Lenita Lindgren; Christine Brulin; Ola Winsö; Stefan Lehtipalo; Lars Berggren; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Touch; touch massage; emotion; anxiety; autonomic nervous sytem; brain; stress; omvårdnadsforskning med medicinsk inriktning; Caring Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Clinical findings indicate that touch massage has the ability to induce positive emotions and influence stress responses. However, little is known about mechanisms that can explain observed responses.Aim: To understand mechanisms behind observed emotional and physiological responses during and after touch massage.
