Two different areas within the primary motor cortex of man
Stefan Geyer,Anders Ledberg,Axel Schleicher,Shigeo Kinomura,Thorsten Schormann,Uli Bürgel,Torkel Klingberg,Jonas Larsson,Karl Zilles,Per E. Roland +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that area 4 in man can be subdivided into areas '4 anterior' and '4 posterior' (4p) on the basis of both quantitative cytoarchitecture and quantitative distributions of transmitter-binding sites and by positron emission tomography that two representations of the fingers exist.

Estimation of the probabilities of 3D clusters in functional brain images
TL;DR: A modification of the cluster analysis proposed by Roland et al. is presented, showing the method used to be specific and sensitive and is further compared with SPM96 and the nonparametric method of Holmes etAl.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hierarchical Processing of Tactile Shape in the Human Brain
TL;DR: It is suggested that somatosensory representations of shape are computed by areas 3b, 1, 2, IPA, and ASM in this hierarchical fashion.

Cross-Modal Transfer of Information between the Tactile and the Visual Representations in the Human Brain: A Positron Emission Tomographic Study
TL;DR: It is proposed here that modality-specific areas can communicate, exchange information, and interact via the claustrum in neural populations involved in tactile–visual cross-modal transfer of shape.

Sensory processing in Parkinson's and Huntington's disease: investigations with 3D H(2)(15)O-PET.

TL;DR: The data show that Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are characterized by abnormal cortical and subcortical activation on passive sensory stimulation, and the finding that activation increases in ipsilateral sensory cortical areas may be interpreted as either altered central focusing and gating of sensory impulses, or enhanced compensatory recruitment of associative sensory areas in the presence of basal ganglia dysfunction.

The assessment and analysis of handedness: The Edinburgh inventory
TL;DR: An inventory of 20 items with a set of instructions and response- and computational-conventions is proposed and the results obtained from a young adult population numbering some 1100 individuals are reported.

TL;DR: This book discusses statistical decision theory and sensory processes in signal detection theory and psychophysics and describes how these processes affect decision-making.

Modality and topographic properties of single neurons of cat's somatic sensory cortex.
TL;DR: Observations upon the modality and topographical attributes of single neurons of the first somatic sensory area of the cat’s cerebral cortex, the analogue of the cortex of the postcentral gyrus in the primate brain, support an hypothesis of the functional organization of this cortical area.
