@DegenRolf I know -- my point is that I understand the text in a way that limits this effect to the glans.@Neuro_Skeptic1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

@fMRI_guy@DegenRolf I agree with that reading, though it doesn't explicitly say that prepuce has a high acuity. Someone must know though?!3 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@DegenRolf@Neuro_Skeptic Interesting. In that case I'd expect increased cortical area in SII (which IIRC correlates w valence/relevance)1 reply 0 retweets 1 like
@fMRI_guy @Neuro_Skeptic Could very well be true, and insula. But that is not the s. homunculus

@DegenRolf@Neuro_Skeptic True; there should be other homunculi in these areas as well (& in thalamus), which will prob have diff penis size0 replies 0 retweets 1 likeThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
