fMRI assessment of somatotopy in human Brodmann area 3b by electrical finger stimulation

FUNCTIONAL magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is capable of detecting focal brain activation induced by electrical stimulation of single fingers in human subjects. In eight subjects somatotopic arrangement of the second and fifth finger was found in Brodmann area 3b of the primary somatosensory corte...
