Study Notes

Somatosensory Area (SI)

Located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe in the brain.
Responsible for processing tactile information, including touch, pain, and temperature.

Somatosensory Association Cortex

Involved in further processing sensory input from the primary somatosensory area.
Integrates sensory information to help understand spatial relationships, object recognition, and interpreting sensory experiences.

Primary Auditory Area (A1)

Situated in the superior temporal gyrus of the temporal lobe.
Functions as the main hub for processing sound information, including pitch and volume.

Secondary Auditory (Association) Area (A11)

Located adjacent to the primary auditory area in the temporal lobe.
Responsible for more complex processing of auditory information, such as the recognition of sounds, understanding language, and music perception.

Perception of Cutaneous and Proprioceptive Sensations

The primary somatosensory area perceives sensations from the opposite half of the body.
This means that sensations on the right side of the body are processed in the left hemisphere and vice versa.
