Somatosensory & Motor Research is a scientific journal that focuses on the study of the somatosensory system and motor system within the human body. These systems are crucial for the perception of sensory stimuli and the execution of movement, respectively. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and brief reports that contribute to the understanding of how sensory information is processed and integrated with motor functions to support human behavior and cognition.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The somatosensory system is responsible for processing sensory information from the body, including touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception (the sense of body position). This system allows individuals to perceive their environment and respond to it appropriately. The motor system, on the other hand, controls voluntary and reflex movements through a complex network of motor neurons and pathways. Research published in Somatosensory & Motor Research covers various aspects of these systems, including their anatomy, physiology, pathology, and therapeutic interventions.

Research Topics[edit | edit source]

Articles in Somatosensory & Motor Research cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

  • Neurophysiology of the somatosensory and motor systems
  • Neuroplasticity and recovery of function following injury
  • Sensory integration and processing
  • Motor control and coordination
  • Effects of aging or diseases on somatosensory and motor functions
  • Developmental aspects of somatosensory and motor systems
  • Innovative therapies and interventions for somatosensory and motor disorders

Importance[edit | edit source]

Understanding the somatosensory and motor systems is essential for developing effective treatments for a variety of conditions that affect movement and sensory perception, such as stroke, Parkinson's disease, and chronic pain syndromes. Research in this field can lead to improvements in rehabilitation techniques, the development of prosthetic devices, and the enhancement of human-computer interaction technologies.

Submission and Review Process[edit | edit source]

Somatosensory & Motor Research invites submissions from researchers and clinicians worldwide. Manuscripts undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the publication of high-quality research. The journal emphasizes the importance of methodological rigor, clarity of presentation, and relevance to the field.
