In this combined electroencephalographic and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) study, the asymmetry of functional and structural measures in the human parietal operculum (PO) were investigated. Median nerve somatosensory evoked potential recordings showed maximum scalp potentials over contralateral (N80, N110) and ipsilateral (N100, N130) temporal electrode positions. In accordance, MRI-coregistered source analysis revealed two electrical sources in the contralateral (N80, N110) and two in the…

Anatomical and Functional Connectivity of Cytoarchitectonic Areas within the Human Parietal Operculum
TLDR
Differences between anatomical and functional connectivity as well as between species, however, highlight the need for an integrative view on connectivity, including comparison and cross-validation of results from different approaches.
Evoked magnetic fields from primary and secondary somatosensory cortices: A reliable tool for assessment of cortical processing in the neonatal period
Asymmetric Functional Connectivity of the Contra- and Ipsilateral Secondary Somatosensory Cortex during Tactile Object Recognition
TLDR
In situations involving unilateral tactile object recognition, contra- and ipsilateral SII will induce an asymmetrical functional connectivity to other brain areas, which may occur by the hand contralateral effect of SII.
Vestibular inputs modulate somatosensory cortical processing
TLDR
Somatosensory potentials evoked by left median nerve stimulation are recorded, before and immediately after left cold caloric vestibular stimulation (CVS), in a small-scale study of eight healthy volunteers, believing this results provide the first clue linking brain structure to function for the interaction between Vestibular and somatoensory systems.
Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Bimanual Integration in Human Somatosensory Cortex and Their Relevance to Bimanual Object Manipulation
TLDR
The data suggest that early interhemispheric somatosensory integration primarily occurs in SII, is mediated by callosal fibers that interconnect homologous SII areas, and has behavioral importance for bimanual object manipulation and exploration.
Right, left, and center: How does cerebral asymmetry mix with callosal connectivity?
TLDR
When a large sample of normal individuals is considered, cerebral asymmetries are only subtly associated with callosal thickness, and leftward asymmetry and increased magnitude of asymmetry were generally associated with increased callosal Thickness.
Hemispheric Asymmetry of Human Brain Anatomical Network Revealed by Diffusion Tensor Tractography
TLDR
It is suggested that the topological asymmetries in the anatomical network may reflect the functional lateralization of the human brain.

The use of functional brain imaging techniques offers the possibility of uncovering the cerebral processing of the human pain experience. In recent years, many imaging studies have focused on…

Evidence for interhemispheric processing of inputs from the hands in human S2 and PV.
TLDR
The fMRI results indicate that, as in monkeys, S2/PV receives inputs from both the contralateral and ipsilateral hand and the MEG data suggest that information is processed serially from S1 to S2, which indicates that extensive intrahemispheric processing occurs before information is transferred to the opposite hemisphere.

Activation of the human posterior parietal cortex by median nerve stimulation
TLDR
All subjects showed additional deflections which peaked after 85 ms; the source locations agreed with the sites of the secondary somatosensory cortices (SII) in both hemispheres; the SII responses were typically stronger in the left than the right hemisphere.
