“…Techniques to map brain activity, such as electroencephalography (Chen & Fang, 2005;Cruccu et al, 2008) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (Grö schel et al, 2013), can be used to examine the functioning of the general somatosensory system. However, these methods could be stressful (Downie & Marshall, 2007) and are not always available in health care facilities for individuals with intellectual disabilities.…”

A B S T R A C TThe spinothalamic pathway mediates sensations of temperature, pain, and touch. These functions seem impaired in children with Down syndrome (DS), but have not been extensively examined in adults. The objective of the present study was to compare the spinothalamic-mediated sensory functions between adults with DS and adults from the general population and to examine in the DS group the relationship between the sensory functions and level of intellectual functioning. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) was performed in 188 adults with DS (mean age 37.5 years) and 142 age-matched control participants (median age 40.5 years). Temperature, pain, and touch were evaluated with tests for cold-warm discrimination, sharp-dull discrimination (pinprick), and tactile threshold, respectively. Level of intellectual functioning was estimated with the Social Functioning Scale for Intellectual Disability (intellectual disability level) and the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence -Revised (intelligence level). Overall, the difference in spinothalamic-mediated sensory functions between the DS and control groups was not statistically significant. However, DS participants with a lower intelligence level had a statistically significant lower performance on the sharp-dull discrimination test than DS participants with higher intelligence level (adjusted p = .006) and control participants (adjusted p = .017). It was concluded that intellectual functioning level is an important factor to take into account for the assessment of spinothalamic-mediated sensory functioning in adults with DS: a lower level could coincide with impaired sensory functioning, but could also hamper QST assessment. ß

“…Electrical stimulation has been widely used in clinic and research, especially concerning rehabilitation (i.e., functional electrical stimulation) [1], pain relief (i.e., transcutaneous electrical stimulation) and evaluation of sensory and cognitive aspects in individuals [1,2]. Most of these electrical stimulation techniques make use of pulsatile stimuli, which are also a powerful tool for generating mainly transient somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs).…”

Little is known about the changes in ongoing cortical rhythms due to application of the steady-state sinusoidal electrical stimuli of 3 kHz, although it has been shown to elicit tactile sensations. In addition, it is known that somatosensory stimulation attenuates ongoing alpha rhythm in centroparietal cortex. Thus, the present work aimed to evaluate alpha rhythm alterations in sensorimotor area and sensations perceived with application of 3 kHz sinusoidal stimulus. Sensory perception threshold (ST) was measured in ten healthy volunteers for posterior stimulation in three distinct stimulus intensities (1.1xST, 2xST and 3xST). Cognitive evaluation of perceived sensations was obtained through questionnaires and cortical alpha rhythm blockade profile was evaluated through the classical event-related synchronization/ desynchronization method. Results showed alpha attenuation in the central cortex bilaterally, in the ipsilateral pre-frontal cortex and contralateral parietal cortex during stimulation. Moreover, there was a tendency of bilateral centroparietal alpha rhythm desynchronization increase with stimulus intensity. In conclusion, sinusoidal electrical stimulation may be useful for disease diagnostics and treatment as well as neurofeedback for brain-machine interface (BMI) applications. Patients may benefit from the novel objective method proposed for assessment of tactile perception, mainly, who might not have their cognition preserved (e.g., stroke).
