Somatosensory Cortical Neurons Decode Tactile Input Patterns and Location from Both Dominant and Non-dominant Digits

Summary: For neurons of the primary somatosensory cortex, the anatomy of the thalamocortical connections supports a digit-wise specialization, whereas the intracortical connections suggest cross-digit integration. To evaluate the digit-wise specialization in individual somatosensory neurons, we expl...
