Transient suppression of ipsilateral primary somatosensory cortex during tactile finger stimulation.
The whole human primary somatosensory (SI) cortex is activated by contralateral tactile stimuli, whereas its subarea 2 displays neuronal responses also to ipsilateral stimuli. Here we report on a transient deactivation of area 3b of the ipsilateral SI during long-lasting tactile stimulation. We collected functional magnetic resonance imaging data with a 3 T scanner from 10 healthy adult subject...
متن کاملNeuromagnetic activation of primary and secondary somatosensory cortex following tactile-on and tactile-off stimulation.
OBJECTIVE Magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings were performed to investigate the cortical activation following tactile-on and tactile-off stimulation. METHODS We used a 306-ch whole-head MEG system and a tactile stimulator driven by a piezoelectric actuator. Tactile stimuli were applied to the tip of right index finger. The interstimulus interval was set at 2000 ms, which included a consta...
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 کاملTransient suppression of primary visual cortex using transcranial magnetic stimulation
Recent advances of transcranial magnetic stimulation can provide new methods to elucidate the mechanism of higher brain function or cortical plasticity. For example, transcranial magnetic stimulation can produce transient disruption of the visual perception or modulation of cortical functions. Probably, the induced eddy current in the brain disturbs the information processing from external sign...
متن کاملAnticipation increases tactile stimulus processing in the ipsilateral primary somatosensory cortex.
Stimulus anticipation improves perception. To account for this improvement, we investigated how stimulus processing is altered by anticipation. In contrast to a large body of previous work, we employed a demanding perceptual task and investigated sensory responses that occur beyond early evoked activity in contralateral primary sensory areas: Stimulus-induced modulations of neural oscillations....
