somatotyperna
Somatotyperna is a proposed theoretical framework in neuroscience that seeks to describe how the brain integrates somatic sensory input, proprioception, and autonomic signals into a unified body representation. The term denotes a somatotopic type of organization across multiple brain networks, rather than a single cortical map, suggesting that body-related information is structured along distributed, overlapping gradients that coordinate perception, action, and internal state.
In this view, somatotyperna encompasses interactions between primary somatosensory cortex, parietal association areas, insular cortex, cerebellum,
Somatotyperna is not an established theory with direct empirical validation; rather, it serves as a conceptual
