| Abstract | A somatotopically organized region on the suprasylvian gyrus of the ferret was examined using multiunit recordings and anatomical tracer injections. This area, which contains a representation of the face, was bordered by the primary somatosensory area (SI), anteriorly, and by the visually- responsive rostral posterior parietal cortex (PPr), posteriorly. Anatomical tracers revealed connections to this region from cortical areas MI, SI, MRSS, PPR and the thalamic posterior nucleus. These results are consistent with previous work in ferrets as well as with the location, physiology and connectivity of area SIII in cats. Given its associations, functional properties, location and homology, it is proposed that this region represents the third cortical somatosensory area (SIII) in ferrets. |
