The representations of the surfaces of the hand in the primary somatosensory cortical field,
area 3b, were reconstructed in detail in seven owl monkeys and two squirrel monkeys …

The efficacy of electrical stimulation of the auditory cortex using extradural implanted
electrodes for treatment of tinnitus was studied in 12 patients suffering tinnitus. The effect of …

The authors studied motor behavior and primary motor (M1) and somatosensory (S1)
cortical representations of movement during hand motor skill acquisition over 3 weeks …

How does the brain change its representations of inputs and actions as we learn? What is
the nature of the processes that control the progressive elaboration of performance abilities …

Spindles and slow oscillations (SOs) both appear to play an important role in memory
consolidation. Spindle and SO “nesting,” or the temporal overlap between the two events, is …

The central auditory system consists of the lemniscal and nonlemniscal systems. The
thalamic lemniscal and nonlemniscal auditory nuclei are different from each other in …

Recent findings indicate that the corticofugal system would play an important role in cortical
plasticity as well as collicular plasticity. To understand the role of the corticofugal system in …

For medical and fundamental reasons, we need to understand adult brain plasticity at
several levels: structural, physiological, and behavioral. Historically, brain plasticity has …

In common with other sensory cortices, the mammalian primary auditory cortex (AI)
demonstrates the capacity for large-scale reorganization following many experimental …

Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with rehabilitation training is emerging as a potential
treatment for improving recovery of motor function following stroke. In rats, VNS paired with …
