Abstract
In experiments on rabbits the topical organization of dental representation in the cortex was studied by the evoked potentials method. Each tooth was shown to be locally represented in the sensomotor cortex. During stimulation of threshold strength these zones do not overlap one another. Topographically the dental projection region occupies a territory including areas ParI, Praecag, Preacgr, and PC.
