Neural plasticity across the lifespan (2016, positive): “More benign interventions such as simply stimulating particular digits and not others yields ‘use-dependent’ shifts in the maps, such that portions of digits stimulated more frequently come to occupy larger portions of the cortical representation (Figure 3).(6) In humans, a similar experiment was pe”

Cortical plasticity: from synapses to maps. (1998, methodology): “For example, monkeys were trained on a task in which they were required to regulate the contact of one or two fingertips on a revolving, grooved disk, which resulted in heavy differential stimulation in a cognitively demanding behavioral task (Jenkins et al 1990).”
Image schemata in the brain (2005, background): “Working on adult squirrel and owl monkeys, Merzenich and colleagues (Buonomano and Merzenich 1998; Merzenich et al. 1984, 1987; Allard et al. 1991; Jenkins et al. 1990; Wall et al. 1986) have shown that adult primates are able to dynamically reorganize the somatosensory cortical maps within certain…”
Dynamic organization of the somatosensory cortex induced by motor activity. (2001, background): “…is modulated by long-lasting experience of decreased sensory input, e.g. after deafferentation (Merzenich et al., 1984; Flor et al., 1995), or due to increased input experience such as massive tactile stimulation (Jenkins et al., 1990; Elbert et al., 1995; Kaas, 1995; Bunomano and Merzenich, 1998).”
Identifying and Quantifying Multisensory Integration: A Tutorial Review (2014, unknown): “Though spike synchrony has been most widely studied in the visual system (Singer 1993; Usrey and Reid 1999; Jermakowicz and Casagrande 2007; Brecht et al. 1999), it has also been used within the auditory (Ahissar et al. 1992) and somatosensory systems (Merzenich et al. 1987; Jenkins et al. 1990).”
