Description of the research topic:

"Goal: Determining the intrinsic and inter-areal connections between functionally identified (soomatotopy, tactile submodality) micro-regionsof the somatosensory cortex.
Task: Electrohysiolgical and fMRI mapping of the distal finger pad representations and the submodality sensitivity (pressure, flutter, vibration) of the activated cortical regions. Mapping the connections of the physiologically identified regions by neuronal tract tracing. analysing the relationship of the anatomical and functional connectivites."
