About
Vernon Mountcastle has devoted his career to studying the neurophysiology of sensation in the hand. In "The Sensory Hand" he provides an astonishingly comprehensive account of the neural underpinnings of the rich and complex tactile experiences evoked by stimulation of the hand. His new book thus becomes a sequel to his earlier volume, "Perceptual Neuroscience," in which he offered a detailed analysis of the role of the distributed systems of the neocortex in perception generally.
