The organization and connections of somatosensory cortex in marmosets [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 1990 Microelectrode mapping methods were used to define and describe 3 representations of the body surface in somatosensory cortex of marmosets: S-I proper or area 3b of anterior parietal cortex, S-II, and the parietal ventral area (PV) of the upper bank of the lateral sulcus.

Stimulus awareness is associated with secondary somatosensory cortex activation in an inattentional numbness paradigm [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2023 While inattentional blindness and deafness studies have revealed neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) without the confound of task relevance in the visual and auditory modality, comparable studies for the somatosensory modality are lacking.

Postnatal expression of Cat-315-positive perineuronal nets in the SAMP10 mouse primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
IBRO Neuroscience ReportsPerineuronal nets (PNNs) form at the end of the critical period of plasticity in the mouse primary somatosensory cortex. PNNs are said to have functions that control neuroplasticity and provide neuroprotection. However, it is not clear which molecules in

Mapping of the Somatosensory Cortex [PDF]
Cureus, 2020 Intraoperative sensory cortical mapping is a reliable and safe method for the functional localization of the central sulcus (CS). It is utilized during neurosurgical procedures performed near eloquent brain tissue. It helps in identifying the somatosensory cortex and CS, hence preventing any postoperative neurological deficits.

Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2023 Background: Somatosensory deficits are common symptoms post stroke. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) over the motor cortex is able to promote motor rehabilitation, whereby its impact on somatosensory functioning remains unknown.

Subjective somatosensory experiences disclosed by focused attention: cortical-hippocampal-insular and amygdala contributions. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In order to explore the neurobiological foundations of qualitative subjective experiences, the present study was designed to correlate objective third-person brain fMRI measures with subjective first-person identification and scaling of local, subtle ...

Convergence across tactile afferent types in primary and secondary somatosensory cortices. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Integration of information by convergence of inputs onto sensory cortical neurons is a requisite for processing higher-order stimulus features. Convergence across defined peripheral input classes has generally been thought to occur at levels beyond the ...

Attenuation of sensory processing in the primary somatosensory cortex during rubber hand illusion
Scientific Reports, 2021 The neural representation of the body is easily altered by the integration of multiple sensory signals in the brain. The “rubber hand illusion” (RHI) is one of the most popular experimental paradigms to investigate this phenomenon.
