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 …

An extensive program of research in the past 2 decades has focused on the role of modal
sensory, motor, and affective brain systems in storing and retrieving concept knowledge …

In monkeys, the somatosensory cortex on the parietal operculum can be differentiated into
several distinct cortical fields. Potential human homologues for these areas have already …

The dual nature of touch has long been understood. The sense of touch seems to carry
