Functional Organization of the Somatosensory Cortex

摘要: The large segment of the attempts to gain an appreciation for functional organization somatosensory cortex is based on study responses expressed as electrical activity, and engendered under specific, operationally defined stimulus conditions. expectation that motivates these efforts it will be possible analyze pattern flow distribution activity elicited by stimuli known properties; characterize qualitative quantitative relations between used obtained; fractionate complex neural system into functionally distinct, though interacting, subunits. This latter objective closely allied with neuroanatomist’s goal describe identify different morphological constituents their geometric synaptic one another. Accordingly, point view underlies systems correlative in sense seeking role played structural components generation dynamic performance (i. e.: information flow) controlled or natural perturbation input.
