Journal ArticleDOI

More than skin deep: Body representation beyond primary somatosensory cortex

Matthew R. Longo, +3 more
- 01 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: A wide range of neuropsychological, neuroimaging and neurophysiological data is reviewed to explore the dissociation between these different aspects of higher somatosensory function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changing Reference Frames during the Encoding of Tactile Events

Elena Azañón, +2 more
- 22 Jul 2008 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that this early somatotopic "glimpse" arises from the initial feed-forward sweep of neural activity to the primary somatosensory cortex, whereas the later externally-based, conscious experience reflects the activity of a somatoensory network involving recurrent connections from association areas.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Posterior Parietal Cortex Remaps Touch into External Space

Elena Azañón, +4 more
- 27 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: This study investigates the neural bases of this tactile remapping mechanism in humans by disrupting neural activity in the putative human homolog of the monkey ventral intraparietal area within the right posterior parietal cortex, which is thought to house external spatial representations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Using time to investigate space: a review of tactile temporal order judgments as a window onto spatial processing in touch

Tobias Heed, +1 more
- 17 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that postural manipulations affect TOJ performance, indicating that external coordinates are in fact computed automatically, which makes the TOJ task a reliable indicator of spatial remapping, and an overview over the versatile analysis options for TOJ is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multimodal contributions to body representation

Elena Azañón, +8 more
- 01 Jan 2016 - 
TL;DR: An overview of some of the most recent neuropsychological evidence about multisensory control of pain, and the way that visual, auditory, vestibular and tactile systems contribute to the creation of coherent representations of the body is presented.
