## Abstract Electrophysiological recordings were made at a large number of sites in the primary somatosensory cortex of six anesthetized raccoons. A high density of penetrations (110β229 per animal), within or near the representation of the fourth digit, allowed identification of three cortical reg

Functional mapping of the rat somatosensory cortex was performed with T2\*-sensitized MRI using a forepaw electrical stimulation model in alpha-chloralose-anesthetized rats at 7 T under both normocapnia and mild hyperventilation-induced hypocapnia. A highly localized activation area, consistent with
Sensory information is encoded throughout the central nervous system by activation of specific groups of neurons. Neurons encoding information from a particular modality are grouped together and constitute an ordered neural representation or ''map'' of the stimulus. The organization of these represe
