  • “The relative sizes of different sensory representations in naked mole-rats S1. The chart on the right shows the percentage of cortex devoted to different body parts. On the left the different body parts are illustrated according to their cortical proportions. This “mole-ratunculus” provides a graphic illustration of the cortical magnification of the incisors and head (illustration by Lana Finch).” ‘Somatosensory cortex dominated by the representation of teeth in the naked mole-rat brain’
