Tactile pleasure and pain are differentiated in the somatosensory cortex
Neuroscience research demonstrates that tactile and pain (nociceptive) information are processed in distinct, spatially segregated regions within the primary somatosensory cortex.
The retrieved papers specifically investigate the organization of tactile and pain (nociceptive) processing within the primary somatosensory cortex (S1). Papers [5] and [10] clearly show that S1 differentiates these modalities, utilizing distinct subregions (such as the barrel field for touch and the dysgranular region for nociception). Therefore, the claim is well-supported by empirical evidence.
Tactile pleasure and pain are differentiated in the somatosensory cortex of mice.

Provides direct evidence of a specialized nociresponsive region in the primary somatosensory cortex that separates pain processing from tactile input.
