French

Domaine(s)
  • Système nerveux
CONT

Les aires sensorielles primaires du cortex cérébral, qu'elles participent à la perception somesthésique, visuelle ou auditive, sont organisées suivant des cartographies très précises. L'établissement de ces cartes a lieu au cours du développement postnatal et dépend de l'activité des circuits afférents. [...] La simple élimination d'une partie de l'innervation somesthésique périphérique provoque une réorganisation complexe de la carte corticale.

Spanish

Representación de la organización de la corteza cerebral.

CONT

Toda la corteza cerebral está organizada en áreas funcionales que asumen tareas receptivas, integrativas y motoras del comportamiento.
