The commentaries have raised important points regarding different aspects of our model.
Some have queried the nature of the proposed dissociations, whereas others have …

The traditional view that the cerebral cortex is not involved in pain processing has been
abandoned during the past decades based on anatomic and physiologic investigations in …

Most manual grips can be divided in precision and power grips on the basis of phylogenetic
and functional considerations. We used functional magnetic resonance imaging to compare …

We take the feeling that our body belongs to us for granted. However, recent research has
shown that it is possible to alter the subjective sensation of body ownership (BO) by …

In monkeys, the somatosensory cortex on the parietal operculum can be differentiated into
several distinct cortical fields. Potential human homologues for these areas have already …

The human secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) is located on the parietal operculum, as
shown by intraoperative stimulation and functional imaging studies. The position and extent …

We have analyzed the geometry, geography, and functional organization of human cerebral
cortex using surface reconstructions and cortical flat maps of the left and right hemispheres …

In this study we describe the localization of the cytoarchitectonic subdivisions of the human
parietal operculum in stereotaxic space and relate these anatomically defined cortical areas …

This fMRI study investigated the human somatosensory system, especially the secondary
somatosensory cortex (SII), with respect to its potential somatotopic organization. Eight …

Recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies suggest that the control of
fingertip forces between the index finger and the thumb (precision grips) is dependent on …
