Resting BOLD fluctuations in the primary somatosensory cortex correlate with tactile acuity.
Sensory perception, including 2-point discrimination (2 ptD), is tightly linked to cortical processing of tactile stimuli in primary somatosensory cortices. While the role of cortical activity in response to a tactile stimulus has been widely investigated, the role of baseline cortical activity is largely unknown. Using resting state fMRI we investigated the relationship between local BOLD fluc...
متن کاملTactile hyperacuity thresholds correlate with finger maps in primary somatosensory cortex (S1).
Behavioral tactile discrimination thresholds were compared with functional magnetic resonance imaging measurements of cortical finger representations within primary somatosensory cortex (S1) for 10 human subjects to determine whether cortical magnification in S1 could account for the variation in tactile hyperacuity thresholds of the fingers. Across 10 subjects, the increase in tactile threshol...
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 کاملTight Coupling of Resting-state BOLD fluctuations with Intracortical DC Changes in Rat Somatosensory Cortex during Prolonged Medetomidine Sedation
medetomidine from isoflurane) indicated dynamic changes in BOLD low-frequency power. Within the first hour of medetomidine administration, the BOLD power was highest at < 0.1 Hz, as previously observed in human resting-state studiesl. However, the power of <0.1-Hz decreased and a peak at ~0.2-Hz increased over time (Fig. 1). The 0.2-Hz peak was observed for the rest of the experiment (up to 5 h...
متن کاملBeyond the Peak – Tactile Temporal Discrimination Does Not Correlate with Individual Peak Frequencies in Somatosensory Cortex
The human sensory systems constantly receive input from different stimuli. Whether these stimuli are integrated into a coherent percept or segregated and perceived as separate events, is critically determined by the temporal distance of the stimuli. This temporal distance has prompted the concept of temporal integration windows or perceptual cycles. Although this concept has gained considerable...
