The Organization and Connections of Second Somatosensory Cortex in the Agouti
Frontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2019 In order to understand how the mammalian sensory cortex has been structured during evolution, it is necessary to compare data from different species across distinct mammalian lineages. Here, we investigated the organization of the secondary somatosensory
