Four-dimensional maps of the human somatosensory system

Open access

Abstract

Significance: Here, we show how anatomical and functional data recorded from patients undergoing stereo-EEG can be combined to generate highly resolved four-dimensional maps of human cortical processing. We used this technique, which provides spatial maps of the active cortical nodes at a millisecond scale, to depict the somatosensory processing following electrical stimulation of the median nerve in nearly 100 patients. The results showed that human somatosensory system encompasses a widespread cortical network including a phasic component, centered on primary somatosensory cortex and neighboring motor, premotor, and inferior parietal regions, as well as a tonic component, centered on the opercular and insular areas, lasting more than 200 ms.

  • The paper relies on this without support.

    The cortical somatosensory organization observed in these patients with drug-resistant focal epilepsy is representative of the healthy human somatosensory system.

    “Stereo-EEG data were collected from 99 patients (52 male, 47 female) suffering from drug-resistant focal epilepsy.”

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

Self-check

Percentages, sums and reported differences re-computed from the paper’s own numbers.

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.

  • The illustrated electrode is too short for the stated contact layout

    Minor

    Eighteen 2-mm contacts separated by seventeen 1.5-mm gaps would span 61.5 mm, exceeding the stated 50-mm total distance.

  • The cortical masks would overlap at the stated spacing

    Minor

    Each mask includes nodes within 1 cm of its center. Two such masks whose centers are 1.5 cm apart would share nodes, contrary to the claim that they are completely independent.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-07, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-07 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
