Haptic information from the outside world is input to areas 3b and 1 of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) by ascending afferent fibers, such as the slowly adapting fibers and rapidly adapting ...

At the posterior border to S1, we found hypoesthesia associated effects in attention-related areas such as the inferior parietal lobe and intraparietal sulcus. Downstream to S1, we replicated ...

New research by neuroscientists at the University of Chicago shows that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), an area of the brain often associated with planning movements and spatial awareness ...
