Abstract:
Background
While SII cortex is considered to be the first cortical stage of the pathway that integrates tactile information arising from
both sides of the body, SI cortex is generally not considered as a region in which neuronal response is modulated by simultaneous
stimulation of bilateral (and mirror-image) skin sites.
