在猕猴的中央后皮层的特定身体部位的代表性的去除导致在第二躯体感觉区的相应的身体部位的躯体失活。与此相反，整个第二躯体感觉区的删除没有明显的影响，在中央后皮层神经元的躯体反应。躯体感觉中连续皮层处理的直接电生理证据与早期发现的视觉相似，并与最近的解剖学证据一起表明，在各种感觉方式中，感觉信息的处理有一个共同的皮层计划。
Removal of the representation of a specific body part in the postcentral cortex of the macaque resulted in the somatic deactivation of the corresponding body part in the second somatosensory area. In contrast, removal of the entire second somatosensory area had no grossly detectable effect on the somatic responsivity of neurons in the postcentral cortex. This direct electrophysiological evidence for serial cortical processing in somesthesia is similar to that found earlier for vision and, taken together with recent anatomical evidence, suggests that there is a common cortical plan for the processing of sensory information in the various sensory modalities.
