The somatosensory system is important for many functions, such as tactile recognition, the
perception of our body, and motor actions. We present a comprehensive review of the …

Short-term maintenance of verbal information is a core factor of language repetition,
especially when reproducing multiple or unfamiliar stimuli. Many models of language …

Out of all the human senses, touch is the one that is most often unappreciated, and
undervalued. Yet, the surface of the human body, the skin, is actually one huge sheet of …

Sensory recruitment models of working memory assume that information storage is
mediated by the same cortical areas that are responsible for the perceptual processing of …

It has been demonstrated that the postcentral sulcus, which forms the posterior boundary of
the sensorimotor region, is a complex of distinct sulcal segments. Although the general …

When planning interactions with nearby objects, our brain uses visual information to
estimate shape, material composition, and surface structure before we come into contact …

Both visual and haptic information add to the perception of surface texture. While prior
studies have reported crossmodal interactions of both sensory modalities at the behavioral …

In the present study, we searched for causal evidence linking activity in the bilateral primary
somatosensory cortex (SI), posterior parietal cortex (PPC), and prefrontal cortex (PFC) with …

The present experiment was designed to test if sustained attention directed to the
spontaneous sensations of the right or left thumb in the absence of any external stimuli is …

Working memory (WM) studies have been essential for ascertaining how the brain flexibly
handles mentally represented information in the absence of sensory stimulation. Most …
