The sense of proprioception allows us to keep track of our limb posture and movements and
the sense of touch provides us with information about objects with which we come into …

The discovery of mirror neurons in motor areas of the brain has led many to assume that our
ability to understand other people's behaviour partially relies on vicarious activations of …

Abstract Information processing in the cerebral cortex involves interactions among
distributed areas. Anatomical connectivity suggests that certain areas form local hierarchical …

Noninvasively mapping the layout of cortical areas in humans is a continuing challenge for
neuroscience. We present a new method of mapping cortical areas based on myelin content …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Optogenetics is a technique for controlling subpopulations of neurons in the intact brain
using light. This technique has the potential to enhance basic systems neuroscience …

There is accumulating evidence from behavioral, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging
studies that the acquisition of motor skills involves both perceptual and motor learning …

The commentaries have raised important points regarding different aspects of our model.
Some have queried the nature of the proposed dissociations, whereas others have …

How human beings integrate information from external sources and internal cognition to
produce a coherent experience is still not well understood. During the past decades …

One of the most specific but also challenging properties of the brain is its topographic
organization into distinct modules or cortical areas. In this paper, we first review the concept …
