  • Title: Responsiveness and somatotopic organization of anterior parietal field 3b and adjoining cortex in newborn and infant monkeys.
    Author: Krubitzer LA, Kaas JH.
    Journal: Somatosens Mot Res; 1988; 6(2):179-205. PubMed ID: 3242345.
    Abstract:
    Microelectrodes were used to record from somatosensory areas 3b and adjoining areas 3a and 1 in newborn monkeys. At birth, area 3b was responsive to cutaneous stimuli and had an adult-like somatotopic organization in marmosets and one squirrel monkey, while areas 1 and 3a had only limited responsiveness. In newborn macaque monkeys, cortex was unresponsive to cutaneous stimuli; however, by 1 month, areas 3b and 1 appeared to be adult-like in responsiveness and somatotopic organization.
