Whereas, there is data to support that cuneothalamic projections predominantly reach a
topographically confined volume of the rat thalamus, the ventroposterior lateral (VPL) …

To understand how sensory-driven neural activity gives rise to perception, it is essential to
characterize how various relay stations in the brain encode stimulus presence. Neurons in …

Whereas functional localization historically has been a key concept in neuroscience, direct
neuronal recordings show that input of a particular modality can be recorded well outside its …

The presence of contralateral tactile input can profoundly affect ipsilateral tactile perception,
and unilateral stroke in somatosensory areas can result in bilateral tactile deficits …

To further understand how tactile information is carried in somatosensory cortex (S1) and the
thalamus (VPL), and how neuronal plasticity after neuroprosthetic stimulation affects sensory …

The neural processes underlying tactile decisions in the human brain remain elusive. We
addressed this question in a functional magnetic resonance imaging study using a …

Background Our goal was to examine the spatiotemporal integration of tactile information in
the hand representation of human primary somatosensory cortex (anterior parietal …

For neurons of the primary somatosensory cortex, the anatomy of the thalamocortical
connections supports a digit-wise specialization, whereas the intracortical connections …

The temporal pattern of action potentials can convey rich information in a variety of sensory
systems. We describe a new non-invasive technique that enables precise, reliable …

Animals in their natural environments actively process spatiotemporally complex sensory
signals in order to guide adaptive behavior. It therefore seems likely that the properties of …
