Movement planning elicits finger-specific activity in primary somatosensory cortex that is strongly correlated to the finger-specific activity elicited during movement execution.

A combination of 7 tesla fMRI and psychophysics revealed the reorganisation of the human somatosensory cortex and changes in tactile perceptual abilities after just 24 hours of altered hand use.

The brain continues to represent individual fingers in primary somatosensory cortex decades after the amputation of a hand, indicating that cortical maps do not require ongoing sensory input from the body.

SI topographic finger maps of older adults show signs of cortical aging but do not show classical hallmarks of cortical de-differentiation.

Neuronal activity modulates blood–brain barrier permeability, influencing synaptic plasticity and local network reorganization in the healthy brain.

Computational modeling and analysis of mouse neural population data finds that the excitation/inhibition imbalance theory of brain disorders is too limited to account for key changes in neural activity statistics.

Signals from different tactile submodalities are integrated optimally to culminate in cortical responses whose rate and timing conveys stimulus information.

Parvalbumin positive GABAergic neurons in the ventral zona incerta receive input from somatosensory cortex and enhance sound-induced flight behavior, which underlies a cross-modality facilitation of defensive behavior by somatosensory input.

Integrating circuit-level theories about population dynamics in motor cortex with behavioral-level theories about motor control.

Hand somatotopy can be preserved in the primary somatosensory cortex of tetraplegic patients, despite the absence of sensorimotor function and periphery-brain communication, but deteriorates over years after injury.
