In this video, Neuroscientifically challenged discusses the primary somatosensory cortex. The primary somatosensory cortex is responsible for processing somatic sensations, or sensations from the body ...

The somatosensory cortex is a brain region known to play a role in the detection of tactile information, changes in temperature, and pain sensations. Some recent studies found that this crucial ...

The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is known to process pain information, and increasing evidence suggests that it plays a key role in the development of neuropathic pain after injury. S1 can become ...
