Touch-related sensory decline could offer early clues to cognitive problems, according to a recent review. The findings point ...

The primary somatosensory and visual cortex exhibit correlated spontaneous activity Because RL needs to integrate activity from both V1 and S1 simultaneously, we hypothesized that there could be ...

We present a data-driven computational model of the anatomy of non-barrel primary somatosensory cortex of juvenile rat, integrating whole-brain scale data while providing cellular and subcellular ...

The rodent primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is connected to the posterior medial nucleus (POm), the secondary somatosensory thalamic nucleus 8,9. Despite reciprocal connections with the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Interareal synaptic inputs underlying whisking-related activity in the primary somatosensory barrel cortex. The Journal of Neuroscience, 2023; JN-RM-1148-23 DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1148-23.2023; ...

Researchers have shown that the brain’s primary auditory cortex is more responsive to human vocalizations associated with positive emotions and coming from our left side than to any other kind ...

Poulet and his team have previously found that neurons in the primary somatosensory cortex respond when the skin comes in contact with cool temperatures. So, they expected that warm temperatures ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans found that areas of the brain usually associated with physical injury, including the secondary somatosensory cortex and dorsal posterior insula, were ...
