I reviewed recent studies on the somatosensory cortices, both neurophysiological studies in animals and studies on humans using neuroimaging techniques. The topics reviewed include 1) hierarchical information processing in the digit region of the somatosensory cortex, 2) integration of information from both sides of the body, 3) influence of vision on somatosensory activity, and 4) pain and somatosensory cortex. Functional implications of new findings were discussed.
我回顾了近期关于躯体感觉皮层的研究，包括动物的神经生理学研究以及使用神经成像技术对人类进行的研究。所回顾的主题包括：1）躯体感觉皮层数字区域的分层信息处理；2）来自身体两侧的信息整合；3）视觉对躯体感觉活动的影响；4）疼痛与躯体感觉皮层。文中还讨论了新发现的功能意义。
