2022---the-enigmatic-female-homunculus Review
Researchers acknowledge that because detailed sensory mapping of the female body is still behind that of the male, the 2022 model is a starting point, intended to be a "living" sculpture that can be adjusted as new neuroscience data emerges. Historical Context: The Alchemical "Little Person"
Haven Wright and Preston Foerder presented what is believed to be the first sculpted 3D female somatosensory homunculus in early 2022. 2022---The-enigmatic-female-homunculus
The 2022 sculpture includes prominent breasts, vulva, clitoris, and labia, mapping these areas based on current research into the cortical space devoted to female sensation. 2022---The-enigmatic-female-homunculus
The classic 3D homunculus model, popularized by neurosurgeon Wilder Penfield in the 1930s, mapped cortical representation based on male patients, famously omitting external female genitalia and breasts. 2022---The-enigmatic-female-homunculus
