The traditional view that the cerebral cortex is not involved in pain processing has been
abandoned during the past decades based on anatomic and physiologic investigations in …

Neural representation of somatosensory events undergoes major transformation in the
primary somatosensory cortex (SI) from its original, more or less isomorphic, form found at …

The human capacity for vibrotactile frequency discrimination has been compared directly for
glabrous and hairy skin regions by means of a two-alternative, forced-choice psychophysical …

Parallel activation of primary and secondary somatosensory cortices in human pain
processing. Cerebral processing of pain has been shown to involve primary (SI) and …

Simultaneous early processing of sensory input in human primary (SI) and secondary (SII)
somatosensory cortices. The anatomic connectivity of the somatosensory system supports …

Unilateral sensory stimulation reliably elicits contralateral somatotopic activation of primary
(SI) and secondary (SII) somatosensory cortex. There is an ongoing debate about the …

Nociceptive and tactile information is processed in the somatosensory system via reciprocal
(ie, feedforward and feedback) projections between the thalamus, the primary (S1) and …

Several studies have suggested that, in higher primates, nociceptive somatosensory
information is processed in parallel in the primary (S1) and secondary (S2) somatosensory …

Recent animal studies have shown that there is an evolutionary shift within the order of
primates from parallel to serial processing of haptic information. In an attempt to determine …

We recorded somatosensory evoked magnetic fields from eight healthy subjects with a 122-
channel whole-scalp SQUID magnetometer. The stimulus sequence consisted of …
