The primary sensory area which is located on the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.
Frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital are the four regions of the cerebral cortex.
Parietal libe
The parietal lobe of the cerebral cortex processes sensory information from various parts of the body including the skin.
There are four main lobes: frontal, temporal, parietal and occipital.
The primary sensory area which is located on the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.
Processing of pain signals occurs in the parietal lobes, or sensory cortex. The actual sensation of pain is processed throughout the brain.
The amygdala, located in the limbic system of the brain, is primarily responsible for processing emotions such as anger and fear, as well as triggering responses to potential dangers. It plays a crucial role in the body's fight-or-flight response to threatening situations.
The primary somatosensory cortex is located in the lateral postcentral gyrus. That structure is itself located within the parietal lobe in the cerebral cortex.

One popular theory is called the two stream theory. It stipulates that after the visual cortex of the occipital lobe receives the sensory information of the eyes it is redirected in two main streams. The dorsal stream (the "where stream") goes to the parietal cortex and determines where to object we see is located in relation to our own body (a virtual map of our body's position is obtained in the parietal cortex). The ventral, or "what" stream leads the information to the temporal lobe and identifies what we see.
