Science Advances, 2019 Using laminar fMRI, we show that prediction and sensory inputs activate specific layers in human primary somatosensory cortex. When humans perceive a sensation, their brains integrate inputs from sensory receptors and process them based on their ...

Separate areas for mirror responses and agency within the parietal operculum [PDF]
, 2008 There is common neural activity in parietal and premotor cortex when executing and observing goal-directed movements: the “mirror” response. In addition, active and passive limb movements cause overlapping activity in premotor and somatosensory cortex ...

Rich spatio-temporal stimulus dynamics unveil sensory specialization in cortical area S2
Nature Communications, 2018 Sensory tuning properties of neurons in the secondary whisker somatosensory cortex (wS2) are not well understood. Here, the authors report that wS2 neurons supralinearly integrate concurrent multi-whisker input with larger temporal windows than primary ...

Effect of Prenatal Valproic Acid Exposure on Cortical Morphology in Female Mice
Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2012 We have recently shown that prenatal valproic acid (VPA) exposure causes autism spectrum disorders–like behavioral abnormalities and Nissl-positive cell loss in both prefrontal and somatosensory cortices in male mice.

NMDA receptors control development of somatosensory callosal axonal projections
eLife, 2021 Callosal projections from primary somatosensory cortex (S1) are key for processing somatosensory inputs and integrating sensory-motor information. How the callosal innervation pattern in S1 is formed during early postnatal development is not clear.

Functional and structural brain differences associated with mirror-touch synaesthesia [PDF]
, 2013 Observing touch is known to activate regions of the somatosensory cortex but the interpretation of this finding is controversial (e.g. does it reflect the simulated action of touching or the simulated reception of touch?).

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2013 Cross-modal activity in visual cortex of blind subjects has been reported during performance of variety of non-visual tasks. A key unanswered question is through which pathways non-visual inputs are funneled to the visual cortex. Here we used tomographic

Electroacupuncture-Induced Plasticity between Different Representations in Human Motor Cortex
Neural Plasticity, 2020 Somatosensory stimulation can effectively induce plasticity in the motor cortex representation of the stimulated body part. Specific interactions have been reported between different representations within the primary motor cortex.

Dense connectomic reconstruction in layer 4 of the somatosensory cortex
Science, 2018 Brain anatomy revealed in startling detail The mammalian cerebral cortex is an enormously complex network of neuronal processes that are long and thin, branching, and extremely densely packed.

An approach to localizing corneal pain representation in human primary somatosensory cortex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The cornea has been a focus of animal electrophysiological research for decades, but little is known regarding its cortical representation in the human brain. This study attempts to localize the somatotopic representation of the cornea to painful stimuli
