Histochemical demonstration of sensory maps in the rat and mouse cerebral cortex.
The variations in metabolic activity of two mitochondrial enzymes (succinate dehydrogenase and cytochrome oxidase) have been mapped histochemically in rat and mouse brains prepared in such a manner as to reveal the whole surface of the neocortex in one plane. In each species the enzymes appear to outline the complete body representation map in the somatosensory cortex as well as the primary visual and auditory areas.
