Which of the statements below are correct for the somatosensory cortex? (Please make at least one selection)
- The somatosensory cortex has separate areas for sensing texture, shape, and proprioception.
- The size of the representative area of a body part in the somatosensory cortex is mainly correlated with the anatomical size of the body part.
- The identity of a particular stimulus (texture, shape, hardness, etc.) is represented by a specific spatiotemporal neural activity pattern in the somatosensory cortex.
- The somatosensory cortex receives direct inputs from the spinal cord.
- A given body part (for example, the index finger) has several representative areas in the somatosensory cortex.
