Corticofugal projection patterns of whisker sensorimotor cortex to the sensory trigeminal nuclei

The primary (S1) and secondary (S2) somatosensory cortices project to several trigeminal sensory nuclei. One putative function of these corticofugal projections is the gating of sensory transmission through the trigeminal principal nucleus (Pr5), and some have proposed that S1 and S2 project differe...
