Our results indicate that non-trivial tactile inputs to a single digit engage a wide processing circuitry throughout the digit region and suggest a low impact for somatotopy on the organization of the information processing. We recorded extracellular spikes from a total of 89 neurons in the paw region of the somatosensory cortex in anesthetized rats… Continuar lendo Somatosensory Cortical Neurons Decode Tactile Input Patterns and Location from Both Dominant and Non-dominant Digits.
