The state of somatosensory cortex during neuromodulation

open access: yesJournal of Neurophysiology, 2012
During behavioral quiescence, such as slow-wave sleep and anesthesia, the neocortex is in a deactivated state characterized by the presence of slow oscillations. During arousal, slow oscillations are absent and the neocortex is in an activated state that greatly impacts information processing.

SYNAPTIC PLASTICITY IN THE SOMATOSENSORY CORTEX

open access: yesNeurotransmitter, 2015
The term synaptic plasticity implies modification in the strength or efficacy of synaptic transmission between pre-existing synapses. Long-term changes in synaptic efficacy have been widely proposed as the cellular mechanism of the learning and memory machineries of the brain.

On the Geometry of Somatosensory Representations in the Cortex

open access: yesNeuroImage
AbstractIt is well-known that cortical areas specializing in the processing of somatosensory information from different parts of the body are arranged in an orderly manner along the cortex. It is also generally accepted that in the cortex, somatosensory information is initially processed in the primary somatosensory cortex and from there, it is ...

Evolution of somatosensory and motor cortex in primates [PDF]

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record Part A: Discoveries in Molecular, Cellular, and Evolutionary Biology, 2004
AbstractInferences about how the complex somatosensory systems of anthropoid primates evolved are based on comparative studies of such systems in extant mammals. Experimental studies of members of the major clades of extant mammals suggest that somatosensory cortex of early mammals consisted of only a few areas, including a primary area, S1, bordered ...
