• W1844393324 abstract "We investigated the development of topologically orga- nized representations of a restricted region of skin in the primary somatosensory cortex (SI), more precisely, area 3b of SI. We devised a computational model based on the dynamic neural field theory and on an Oja-like learning rule at the level of feed-forward thalamocortical connec- tions [1]. These connections reach area 3b through sub- thalamic and thalamic relays that convey information from the Merkel Ending Complexes (MECs), which are mechanoreceptors of the skin responsible for information related to touch and pressure. They have been modeled as a quasi-uniform grid while the rest of the relays have been neglected. Both the critical and the post-critical periods of the SI development [2] have been taken into consideration and the latter has been modeled as a long-term alteration of lateral connections. During the critical period, SI remains highly plastic and is able to cope with a vast num- ber of alterations of the environment or of the body itself. This condition goes on during the post-critical period but in a less effective way [3]. In both periods SI is capable of reorganization in the presence of a cortical lesion [4] (e.g. stroke) or a sensory deprivation condition [5] (e.g. limb amputation). In order to examine if the model is capable of recovery from lesions, both cortical and sensory, we stu- died three different types of lesions on SI and on skin. As expected, the model is able to cope with such degenerative conditions and is able to recover a lot of the lost function- alities. More precisely, in the case of cortical lesions, neu- rons that are not affected can recover some of the lost representations while in the case of sensory deprivation, neurons that have lost their preferred input, tend to con- tribute to neighboring representations. Hence, the model confirms both cases and the mechanism of balance between excitation and inhibition seems to be the key for recovery. Attention is another aspect that has been investi- gated because of its prominent role in reshaping receptive fields during execution of demanding touch perception tasks [6]. In this context we simulated some attentional mechanisms in order to investigate how attention affects the receptive fields of the model. In the presence of an attentional signal, the model is able to gently adapt its receptive fields according to the position of the stimuli on the skin. On the one hand attention promotes the migra- tion of the distant receptive fields towards the attended area and on the other hand proximal to attended signal receptive fields undergo shrinkage." @default.
