Thalamic Somatosensory Processing

Thalamic Somatosensory Processing is a neural processing framework that integrates and relays somatic sensory information from peripheral receptors to the cerebral cortex via the thalamus, distinguishing itself by its role as a gating and modulating center for discriminative touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception within the central somatosensory pathway.
