What is Somatosensory Cortex Changes in Monkeys about?
This study investigates the reorganization of somatosensory area 3b representations in adult owl monkeys following surgical fusion of adjacent digits, creating an artificial syndactyly. The results show that this manipulation abolishes the normal discontinuity between the cortical representations of the fused digits, leading to a continuous representation characterized by overlapping receptive fields. These findings support the hypothesis that the temporal correlation of afferent inputs plays a crucial role
