Over the next fifty years, the number of older adults is set to reach record levels. Protecting
older adults from the age-related effects of cognitive decline is one of the greatest …

After manipulations of the periphery that reduce or enhance input to the somatosensory
cortex, affected parts of the body representation will contract or expand, often over many …

Vibration at∼ 70 Hz on the biceps tendon elicits a vivid illusory arm extension. Nobody has
examined which areas in the brain are activated when subjects perceive this kinesthetic …

Unilateral damage to the forelimb representation area of the sensorimotor cortex in adult rats
increases dendritic arborization of layer V pyramidal neurons of the contralateral homotopic …

Cortical map plasticity is believed to be a key substrate of perceptual and skill learning. In
the current study, we quantified changes in perceptual ability after pairing tones with …

Redundancy of the motor control system is an important feature that gives the central control
structures options for solving everyday motor problems. The choice of particular control …

This paper illustrates the use of the recently introduced method of partial directed coherence
in approaching how interactions among neural structures change over short time spans that …

Xerri, Christian, Michael M. Merzenich, Bret E. Peterson, and William Jenkins. Plasticity of
primary somatosensory cortex paralleling sensorimotor skill recovery from stroke in adult …

1. The temporal and spectral characteristics of neural representations of a behaviorally
important species-specific vocalization were studied in neuronal populations of the primary …

The response properties of neurons in primary sensory cortices remain malleable
throughout life. The existence of such plasticity, and the characteristics of a form of implicit …
