AccessPhysiotherapy - Somatosensory Pathways The primary motor cortex, in red, is in the pre-central gyrus, while the primary sensory cortex, in blue, is in the post-central gyrus. The somatosensory association cortex in the parietal lobe, in pink, receives inputs from the primary somatosensory cortex and is important in higher order sensory processing. Functional Areas of The Cerebral Cortex - Antranik For each of the major senses, there is an area called the primary sensory cortex. These are represented with dark blue in the diagrams and include somatosensory, visual, auditory, vestibular, taste, smell, visceral sensations. The Somatosensory System | Boundless Anatomy and Physiology The primary somatosensory area in the human cortex is located in the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe. This is the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch. Like other sensory areas, there is a map of sensory space called a homunculus at this location. Somatosensory c...
