Horizontal intracortical connections may form one substrate for representational plasticity in somatosensory cortex. Electrophysiological mapping demonstrated the finer details of the representations of the hand, lower jaw, neck, and face in area 3b of normal macaque monkeys. Injections of two fluorescent tracers then defined the extent to which horizontal connections crossed from the face into the hand representations and vice versa in area 3b. Connections are widely distributed within cortical representations of skin areas innervated by cervical nerves or by the trigeminal nerve but do not cross a border defined by the anterior limit of the representation of skin innervated by the second cervical nerve. This border separates the representation of the muzzle, innervated only by the mandibular nerve, and the representation of the lower jaw and neck region, innervated by the second and third cervical nerves but overlapped by the mandibular nerve. Thus, the muzzle representation lacks connections with the hand and with the lower jaw and neck representations, but the representations of the hand and of the lower jaw and neck are strongly interconnected. Overlap of the hand and of the lower jaw and neck representations and of their horizontal intracortical connections may form one basis for expansions of the lower jaw representation into that of the hand when peripheral input from the hand is lost. Lack of connections with the rest of the face representation may limit this spread.
