What task does the somatosensory cortex primarily engage inWhat task does the somatosensory cortex primarily engage in?
This part of the brain processes information from the skin (touch, temperature and pain).
What is located right behind the central sulcus?
somatosensory strip
Which area of the brain is responsible for spatial discrimination?
The Primary somatosensory cortex
What are the different sensory systems?
The different sensory systems are the visual system (related to sight), auditory system (related to hearing), olfactory system (related to smell), gustatory system (related to taste), somatosensory system (related to touch, pain, and temperature), and vestibular system (related to balance and spatial orientation).
Which level of the somatosensory system includes the neuronal circuits in the cerebral cortex?
Perceptual level
At which level of the somatosensory system are conscious decisions made about low-grade touch stimuli?
Perceptual level
Cutaneous sensory receptors that reside in the skin are part of what system?
Cutaneous sensory receptors in the skin are part of the somatosensory portion of the nervous system.
Does the nervous system only work for your nervous reaction or your emotions aswell?
Motor reaction is motor system, senses and pain is somatosensory system, emotion is limbic system. EVERYTHING is controlled by the brain and therefore the nervous system
What part of the cerebrum is responsible for sensing body touch and temperature?
the nervous system and the skin
Where is the somatosensory cortex?
partial lobes
What is the first level of the somatosensory sytsem?
receptor

Where does cerebral palsy affect?
CP affects the nervous system - mainly affects the motor control such as muscle control and muscle tone - the somatosensory cortex is located in the cerebrum
What is the most important area of the left brain?
The somatosensory cortex
