Induced and Evoked Properties of Vibrotactile Adaptation in the Primary Somatosensory Cortex by Nicolaas A. J. Puts, Richard A. E. Edden, Suresh Muthukumaraswamy, Krish D. Singh, David J. McGonigle

“…While several models have been proposed that link adaptation to single-neuron dynamics, including GABAergic inhibition, the process is currently imperfectly understood at the whole-brain level in humans. Here, we used magnetoencephalography (MEG) to examine the neurophysiological correlates of adaptation within SI in humans. …”
