  • Title: Specificity of tactile connections in neonatal cuneate nucleus.
    Author: Ferrington DG, Rowe MJ.
    Journal: Brain Res; 1981 Jun; 227(3):429-33. PubMed ID: 7260650.
    Abstract:
    In the neonatal kitten, cuneate neurones activated by tactile stimulation of the forelimb foot pads are divisible into 3 functional classes each of which appears to receive its glabrous skin input selectively from a single class of tactile receptors. Their properties suggest that the functionally specific patterns of tactile convergence characteristic of the adult cuneate nucleus are established by the time of birth.
