Table 8.

Selected studies that reported IGF’s relationship with somatosensory processing.

Author and Year Sample Methods IGF Measure Relevant Findings
Liu et al., 2018 [25] 19 adults with paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD), 18 healthy adults MEG, genetic analysis, electric stimulation of the wrist Power IGF in PKD: ~40 Hz, ~30–50 Hz; IGF in controls: ~60 Hz, ~45–90 Hz. Lower IGF in PRRT2 gene-related PKD (~35 Hz) vs. non-PRRT2 PKD (~44 Hz)
Spooner et al., 2018 [110] 43 HIV-infected,
28 healthy adults
MEG, electrical stimulation of the right median nerve Power IGF: ~30–90 Hz. Higher IGF for second stimulus vs. first stimulus in a sequence, stronger effect in HIV group
Cheng et al., 2016 [111] 22 healthy adults MEG, somatosensory and auditory Go–Nogo tasks Power IGF: ~73 Hz, 40–89 Hz. Negative correlation of IGF with the ratio of responses to the second stimulus vs. the first stimulus (r = −0.57) in P35m component of somatosensory-evoked magnetic fields

Abbreviations: IGF—individual gamma frequency; MEG—magnetoencephalogram; PKD—paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia.
