| Neurons with multiple tuned pads tended to have similar preferred orientations on their tuned pads, which can be interpreted as evidence for integration of information across fingers or as a form of positional invariance. | |
462 Citations | The firing behaviour of these cortical neurons indicates a particular functional role in the fractionation of muscular actio needed to produce fine independent movements of the fingers. |
| We also show that both B52 neurons are sensory neurons. | |
58 Citations | This suggests that these neurons are presumably excitatory. |
70 Citations | The results agree with traditionally alleged topography for fingers in the human motor cortex: ulnar fingers—medial and radial fingers—lateral. |
13 Citations | The cutaneous innervation of all peripheral nerves supplying the fingers may differ from the innervation patterns described in the various distribution charts. |
174 Citations | (6)These results indicate that the representation of fingers in areas 3a and 3b of the conscious monkey is divided into multiple somatotopic subdivisions each representing a functional region of the hand and fingers. |
58 Citations | This implies interaction between afferent impulses from the two fingers and/or partly intermingled cortical representations. |
