When Nathan Copeland suffered a car accident in 2004, damage to his spinal cord at the C5/C6 level resulted in tetraplegic paralysis. This left him initially at the age of 18 years old to consider … ...

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 somatosensory cortex in the front part of the parietal lobe resides in two areas: ... Damage to the right lobe may lead to difficulty with images, spatial awareness, ...

Paralyzed patient feels sensation again Date: April 10, 2018 Source: California Institute of Technology Summary: Using a tiny array of electrodes implanted in the brain's somatosensory cortex ...

Stimulation of single neurons in somatosensory cortex affects rats' behavioural responses in a detection task, suggesting a sparser cortical code for sensations than previously anticipated.

All the surface of the human body is represented in the cerebral cortex in a transversal band localized at the external part of the cerebral hemispheres: the somatosensory cortex. Each body region ...

The somatosensory cortex is a region of the mammalian brain known to play a crucial role in the processing of sensory information, including tactile sensations, temperature and pain. While this ...

We found an activation cluster in primary somatosensory cortex (S1) comparing somatosensory vs. visual attention and another cluster in primary interoceptive cortex (mid/posterior insula) comparing ...

Thirty-three of the 121 participants had an injury to the medial prefrontal cortex, 17 had an injury elsewhere in the brain, while 71 had no brain damage but were of the same age as the others.

The findings suggest that damage to particular areas of the prefrontal cortex indirectly promotes religious fundamentalism by diminishing cognitive flexibility and openness—a psychology term ...
