Individual variation and lateral asymmetry of the rat primary somatosensory cortex.
We have evaluated the interindividual variability and lateral symmetry of a major cortical area by comparing the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) of adult rats. Our choice of the rat was dictated by the accuracy with which one can measure S1 and its component representations in the rodent brain; the importance of such measurements lies in understanding the rules that govern the allocation of c...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex
Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
متن کاملAsymmetry in the human primary somatosensory cortex and handedness.
Brain asymmetry is a phenomenon well known for handedness and language specialization and has also been studied in motor cortex. Less is known about hemispheric asymmetries in the somatosensory cortex. In the present study, we systematically investigated the representation of somatosensory function analyzing early subcortical and cortical somatosensory-evoked potentials (SEP) after electrical s...
متن کاملCorticothalamic projections from the rat primary somatosensory cortex.
To study the cells of origin of corticothalamic inputs to the ventral posterior and posterior medial nuclei of the somatosensory thalamus in rats, we injected small aliquots of tracer into each nucleus and analyzed the pattern of retrograde labeling in the posteromedial barrel subfield of primary somatosensory cortex, which can be divided into barrel and nonbarrel zones. The ventral posterior n...
متن کاملPrimary Somatosensory and Motor Cortex
Figure 1. The gross anatomy of the brain is shown from a lateral (a) and medial (b) view. The wrinkled outer surface that covers the majority of the brain is the cerebral cortex. In panel (a) labels illustrate some of the areas of localized function including primary motor cortex on the precentral gyrus (M1) and primary somatosensory cortex on the postcentral gyrus (S1). Other primary sensory c...
