About

Anton Varlamov investigates the neurobiological and physiological underpinnings of tactile perception, with a particular focus on how the brain processes different touch submodalities and how these processes are altered in neurodevelopmental conditions. His work bridges sensory neuroscience, psychophysiology, and clinical applications, exploring both the neural oscillatory responses to tactile stimuli and the biochemical correlates of touch. In his 2023 study on oscillatory responses to tactile stimuli of different intensity (11 citations), Varlamov developed a novel paradigm to dissect how distinct tactile submodalities—defined by force and velocity—are encoded in the brain, addressing a critical gap in understanding sensory processing. His 2023 study on salivary oxytocin and antioxidative response to robotic touch in adults with autism spectrum disorder (5 citations) is particularly notable, as it links tactile sensory issues in ASD to alterations in oxytocin and oxidative stress markers, offering new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying social communication impairments. By combining rigorous experimental design with biomarker analysis, Varlamov’s work has implications for developing targeted sensory interventions, making him a rising voice in the study of touch and its role in neurodevelopmental health.
