TL;DR: The results suggest that nerve regeneration reestablishes the cortical capacity to process tactile information from reinnervated skin via a prolonged reorganizational process that appears dependent on peripheral and central factors.

TL;DR: Detailed microelectrode maps of the hand representation were derived in cortical areas 3b and 1 from a series of normal adult owl and squirrel monkeys, and all maps were internally topographic.

TL;DR: Remarkably, the representations of some body parts were reversed in orientation in both area 3b and area 1 in squirrel monkeys as compared to owl and macaque monkeys, suggesting that both fields are divided into sectors where the basic somatotopic orientation is independently determined, that the orientation of some of these sectors is subject to reversal in evolution, and that matching sectors in areas3b and 1 are not independent in somattopic organization.

TL;DR: A17 amacrine cells of the cat retina have been penetrated with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-filled microelectrodes and their light responses recorded and it is likely that A17 can be identified with AI.

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the disruptions, regions of isorepresentation, and regions of gradual change result from the thickening, splitting, and folding of a two‐dimensional representation of the skin surface to occupy a three‐dimensional volume.
