The body surface representation in the gracile, cuneate, and spinal trigeminal nuclei of the little red flying fox (Pteropus scapulatus) was examined. As in other species, it was found that any single cross-section through all three nuclei contains a representation of most, or all, of the body surface. In the little red flying fox, however, this representation is arranged as a series of dorsolateral to ventromedially oriented bands, within which there are no apparent topographies. These bands are arranged in such a way that the spatial relationships between body regions in the representation do not reflect those at the periphery.
对小红狐蝠（Pteropus scapulatus）薄束核、楔束核和三叉神经脊束核中的体表代表区进行了研究。与其他物种一样，发现通过所有这三个核的任何单个横截面都包含大部分或全部体表的代表区。然而，在小红狐蝠中，这种代表区排列成一系列从背外侧到腹内侧的带，带内没有明显的局部定位。这些带的排列方式使得代表区中身体区域之间的空间关系并不反映外周的空间关系。
