Cold stimuli evoke potentials that can be recorded directly from parasylvian cortex in humans.
Anatomic, imaging, and lesion studies suggest that insular or parietal opercular cortical structures mediate the sensation of nonpainful cold. We have now tested the hypothesis that cold stimuli evoke electrical responses from these cortical structures in humans. We recorded the response to cold stimuli from electrodes implanted directly over parasylvian cortex for the investigation of intracta...
متن کاملPainful stimuli evoke potentials recorded from the parasylvian cortex in humans.
Cutaneous stimulation of the face and hand with a CO2 laser in three awake patients evoked potentials (LEPs) recorded from the dominant left parasylvian cortex. These were recorded by means of a subdural grid of electrodes implanted for evaluation of epilepsy. Stimulation of the contralateral face resulted in waveforms consisting of a negative potential (N2, 162 +/- 5 ms; mean +/- SE) followed ...
متن کاملCortical representation of pain: functional characterization of nociceptive areas near the lateral sulcus.
Many lines of evidence implicate the somatosensory areas near the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure) in the cortical representation of pain. Anatomical tracing studies in the monkey show nociceptive projection pathways to the vicinity of the secondary somatosensory cortex in the parietal operculum, and to anterior parts of insular cortex deep inside the Sylvian fissure. Clinical observations demo...
متن کاملCutaneous painful laser stimuli evoke responses recorded directly from primary somatosensory cortex in awake humans.
Negative and positive laser evoked potential (LEP) peaks (N2*, P2**) were simultaneously recorded from the primary somatosensory (SI), parasylvian, and medial frontal (MF: anterior cingulate and supplementary motor area) cortical surfaces through subdural electrodes implanted for the surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy. Distribution of the LEP N2* and P2** peaks was estimated to be in co...
متن کاملDipole source analysis of laser-evoked subdural potentials recorded from parasylvian cortex in humans.
The location of the human nociceptive area(s) near the Sylvian fissure is still controversial in spite of evidence from imaging and evoked potential studies that noxious heat stimuli activate somatosensory areas in that region. Some studies have suggested the secondary somatosensory cortex (SII) on the upper bank of the Sylvian fissure posterior to the central sulcus, others the anterior insula...
