Cortico-cortical Connections To The Fifth Somatosensory Area(SV) In The Cat's Cerebral Cortex: A Horseradish Peroxidase Study

摘要

It is known that there are at least four separate somato sensory cortical representations in the cat's cortex These areas had many cortico-cortical connections in the cerebral cortex Furthermore, Mori et al. found a new and complete somatosensory representation of the body surface located rostro-caudally along the medial bank of the anterior suprasylvian sulcus(ASSS-m), the fifth somatosensory cortex (SV). These neurons had large receptive fields(RFs). In the present study, we used the HRP technique to identify the cortico-cortical neurons which project to the facial or trunk-hindlimb regions of SV.
