To make matters worse, the cuneate nucleus is nestled in the brain stem, surrounded by vital brain regions that, if damaged, can lead to death.

The reorganization of the mammalian somatosensory cortex is a common consequence of sensory deafferentation. Here, Kambi et al.show that reorganization of the cuneate nucleus in the brainstem is ...

"The cuneate nucleus is often referred to as a relay station, as if information was just passing through it," says Staff Researcher James Conner, first author of the new paper.

Intracellular dynamics in cuneate nucleus neurons support self-stabilizing learning of generalizable tactile representations. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 12, 210. Acknowledgments: This works ...
