✦ Synopsis

chapter, in which information recently derived from electrophysiological experiments in monkeys and humans is integrated with psychophysical and clinical findings to provide an in-depth discussion of the sensory apparatus associated with different submodalities of somatosensation.

Although comprehensive, this volume is not a mere recital of recent research findings. The authors provide thoughtful analysis of the issues in areas where controversy or uncertainty exist, and the book is extraordinarily pleasing to read. It should be useful to anyone interested in the somatosenses, from graduate students to experienced investigators and clinicians.
