Nipple self-stimulation activated not only the chest region of the homunculus as expected, but also surprisingly the genital region of the sensory homunculus, suggesting a neurological basis for ...

Women's Clitoris, Vagina, and Cervix Mapped on the Sensory Cortex: fMRI Evidence. The Journal of Sexual Medicine , 2011; DOI: 10.1111/j.1743-6109.2011.02388.x Cite This Page : ...

The cortical homunculus represents the importance of various parts of your body as seen by your brain. There is little need for the brain to know what’s going on in the arms and legs.

The homunculus that we know today was developed based on electrical stimulation of different parts of the cortex in more than 400 people undergoing brain surgery for epilepsy or to remove a tumor.

Thus, the 3D representation of that map forms the known sensory homunculus. ... the brain structure through which sensory information passes to the cortex, ...

In a 1950 book, he offered a map of this so-called homunculus. Wilder Penfield’s homunculus. Source: ... the disruption of the cortex leaves them with a smaller sensory map.

The sensory cortex is a strip of brain tissue positioned roughly under where the band between a pair of headphones sits. Across it, neurons linked to different body parts exchange information ...

In Hideo Yamamoto’s manga series “Homunculus,” this untapped cerebral potential is unleashed through a method based on even shakier science: the skull-perforating technique known as trepanning.

The motor cortex homunculus is getting a makeover. New research has essentially redrawn the motor cortex and constitutes one of the most substantial shifts in our topographical knowledge of a sensory ...

It all happens deep inside the brain, in a region known as the cortex. And to explain it all, neuroscientists came up with the idea of the "homunculus," or "little man." Accessibility links ...

Until recently, the position of female genitalia on the homunculus had only been guessed at. Now researchers have created a corresponding diagram for women, finding different types of stimulation ...
