Responsiveness and somatotopic organization of anterior parietal field 3b and adjoining cortex in newborn and infant monkeys.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microelectrodes were used to record from somatosensory areas 3b and adjoining areas 3a and 1 in newborn monkeys. At birth, area 3b was responsive to cutaneous stimuli and had an adult-like somatotopic organization in marmosets and one squirrel monkey, while areas 1 and 3a had only limited responsiveness. In newborn macaque monkeys, cortex was unresponsive to cutaneous stimuli; however, by 1 month, areas 3b and 1 appeared to be adult-like in responsiveness and somatotopic organization.

Representations of the body surface in areas 3b and 1 of postcentral parietal cortex of Cebus monkeys.
The somatotopic organization of postcentral parietal cortex was determined with microelectrode mapping methods in a New World monkey, Cebus albifrons. As in previous studies in macaque, squirrel and owl monkeys, two separate representations of the body surface were found in regions corresponding to the architectonic fields 3b and 1. The two representations were roughly mirror-images of each oth...
متن کاملSomatosensory cortex of prosimian Galagos: physiological recording, cytoarchitecture, and corticocortical connections of anterior parietal cortex and cortex of the lateral sulcus.
Compared with our growing understanding of the organization of somatosensory cortex in monkeys, little is known about prosimian primates, a major branch of primate evolution that diverged from anthropoid primates some 60 million years ago. Here we describe extensive results obtained from an African prosimian, Galago garnetti. Microelectrodes were used to record from large numbers of cortical si...
متن کاملRepresentations of the body surface in cortical areas 3b and 1 of squirrel monkeys: comparisons with other primates.
Microelectrode multiunit mapping techniques were used to determine the somatotopic organization of postcentral parietal cortex in the squirrel monkey Saimiri sciurus. Recordings were largeLy confined to architectonic areas 3b and 1. Results were compared to those from similar studies of owl (Merzenich et al., '78) and macaque (Nelson et al., '80) monkeys. As in these previous investigations, se...
متن کاملThe organization and connections of anterior and posterior parietal cortex in titi monkeys: do New World monkeys have an area 2?
We used multiunit electrophysiological recording techniques to examine the topographic organization of somatosensory area 3b and cortex posterior to area 3b, including area 1 and the presumptive area 5, in the New World titi monkey, Callicebus moloch. We also examined the ipsilateral and contralateral connections of these fields, as well as those in a region of cortex that appeared to be simila...
متن کاملDouble representation of the body surface within cytoarchitectonic areas 3b and 1 in "SI" in the owl monkey (Aotus trivirgatus).
Microelectrode multiunit mapping studies of parietal cortex in owl monkeys indicate that the classical “primary” somatosensory region (or “SI”) including the separate architectonic fields 3a, 3b, 1, and 2 contains as many as four separate representations of the body rather than one, An analysis of receptive field locations for extensive arrays of closely placed recording sites in parietal corte...
