The somatosensory cortex is the area of the brain responsible for receiving and processing sensory information from around the body, such as touch, temperature, and pain.
<h3>What is the Somatosensory Cortex?</h3>
The brain devotes a lot of area to processing touch input from the lips. Touches to the hand and arm are processed in neighboring parts of the somatosensory cortex.
<h3>Where in the brain is the somatosensory cortex?</h3>
It is found in the parietal lobe, behind the central sulcus of the brain, in the postcentral gyrus region.
Brodmann areas 1, 2, and 3 are other names for it.
<h3>What is going on in the somatosensory cortex?</h3>
The somatosensory cortex integrates all sensory data from various sections of the brain, such as pain and temperature.
An example of the somatosensory cortex activity is when a person holds a spoon with their eyes closed and is able to recognize an object as a spoon based on its texture, temperature, and shape. Other names for this area are somesthetic area and somatosensory area.
