TL;DRAbstract
The second somatic sensory area (S II) was originally described on the basis of evoked potential mapping studies (1, 64, 65). This type of physiological study and the more detailed microelectrode mapping studies that followed have provided important data concerning the functional organization of this region of the cerebral cortex. Unfortunately these physiological data have not been correlated with connectional or cytoarchitectonic data. The need for such correlative information is suggested by studies such as that of Carreras and Anderson (7), whose division of the anterior ectosylvian gyrus in the cat into functional areas on the basis of the vascular pattern of the cortex is still widely quoted.
