The cutaneous rabbit illusion affects human primary sensory cortex somatotopically. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2006 We used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study neural correlates of a robust somatosensory illusion that can dissociate tactile perception from physical stimulation.

Dispositional empathy predicts primary somatosensory cortex activity while receiving touch by a hand
Scientific Reports, 2021 Previous research revealed an active network of brain areas such as insula and anterior cingulate cortex when witnessing somebody else in pain and feeling empathy.

Ethosuximide Affects Paired-Pulse Facilitation in Somatosensory Cortex of WAG\Rij Rats as a Model of Absence Seizure [PDF]
Advanced Pharmaceutical Bulletin, 2015 Purpose: The interaction between somatosensory cortex and thalamus via a thalamocortical loop is a theory behind induction of absence epilepsy. Inside peri-oral somatosensory (S1po) and primary somatosensory forelimb (S1fl) regions, excitatory and ...

Fine-grained nociceptive maps in primary somatosensory cortex [PDF]
, 2012 Topographic maps of the receptive surface are a fundamental feature of neural organization in many sensory systems. While touch is finely mapped in the cerebral cortex, it remains controversial how precise any cortical nociceptive map may be.

Plasticity in mammalian somatosensory cerebellar maps [PDF]
, 1996 The organization of sensory maps in mammalian brains can change following peripheral injury or experience. Such plasticity has been demonstrated for somatotopic somatosensory maps in various cortical and subcortical areas. In contrast to somatotopic maps,

Function, 2020 The brain processes sensory information in a context- and learning-dependent manner for adaptive behavior. Through reward-based learning, relevant sensory stimuli can become linked to execution of specific actions associated with positive outcomes.

From anatomy to function: the role of the somatosensory cortex in emotional regulation
Brazilian Journal of Psychiatry, 2018 Since the pioneering work of Penfield and his colleagues in the 1930s, the somatosensory cortex, which is located on the postcentral gyrus, has been known for its central role in processing sensory information from various parts of the body.

Deviant Processing in the Primary Somatosensory Cortex [PDF]
Cerebral Cortex, 2015 Stimulus-specific adaptation (SSA) to repetitive stimulation has been proposed to separate behaviorally relevant features from a stream of continuous sensory information. However, the exact mechanisms giving rise to SSA and cortical deviance detection are not well understood.
