- Abstract:
The article presents a study which examined the nature of sensations evoked through microstimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) in a male subject with tetraplegia. In the study, it was proven that microstimulation within the hand area of the somatosensory cortex in individuals with long-term spinal cord injury evokes tactile sensations believed to be originating from locations on the hand and that the cortical stimulation sites are organized based on somatotopic principles.
