Evoked potential mapping of auditory and somatosensory cortices in the miniature swine

Neuroscience Letters

Abstract

The miniature swine (Sus scrofa) is a desirable model for certain electrophysiological studies because of its large brain, ready availability and low cost. We report our findings regarding the location of the auditory and somatosensory cortices obtained by cortical surface evoked potential mapping. Data were collected from 11 animals under general endotracheal anesthesia. Consistent positive potentials were obtained for both auditory (P24) and median nerve somatosensory (P26) stimulation. The auditory region was centered around the lateral (sylvian) fissure; the somatosensory region was centered around the central (dorsomedial suprasylvian) fissure. In the miniature swine the locations of the auditory and somatosensory cortices are comparable to those found in other species.

Auditory Perception

Auditory perception is the ability to receive and interpret information attained by the ears. Here is the latest research on factors and underlying mechanisms that influence auditory perception.

Barrel cortex

Here is the latest research on barrel cortex, a region of somatosensory and motor corticies in the brain, which are used by animals that rely on whiskers for world exploration.
