[Abstract] Touch stimulates a series of sites and eventually activates the cerebral cortex to form a tactile response. The studies found that the main activated cerebral cortexes were the primary somatosensory cortex (S1) and the secondary somatosensory cortex (S2), the other brain regions were anterior cingulate cortex and thalamus. The factors influencing the activation of brain regions were stimulating position, the pro-perties of stimulants, age, etc. |
