Angular gyrus is the Brodmann's Area 39 and is commonly known as part of the Wernicke's area. This gyrus is responsbile for understanding written language. So, any damages to angular gyrus of your dominant hemisphere might result in "alexia" (loss the ability to understand the meaning of what you read, though you can see the words)

Supramarginal gyrus is the Bromann's Area 40 and it's responsible for awareness of different parts of body. So, any damages to this area might cause "neglect syndrome".

What is the Correlation between per and post central gyus?

The precentral gyrus is primarily responsible for motor function, while the postcentral gyrus is involved in somatosensory processing. They work together in the motor-sensory loop for coordinated movements and sensory feedback. Damage to either gyrus can disrupt this loop and impair movement and sensation.


What gyrus lies directly posterior to the precentral gyrus?

The post central gyrus lies directly posterior to the precentral gyrus. Both of these gyrus are located in the brain and are also almost parallel to one another.

Which brain area is primarily involved with reading aloud?

First it will go to your visual cortex, then to the Angular gyrus where the visual words are transformed into an auditory code, then to Wernicke's area which interprets the code, and then it will go to Broca's area where speech muscles are controled through the motor cortex. So the answer to the test question you obviously didn't study for is: Visual Cortex, Angular gyrus, Wernicke's area, Broca's area and the Motor Cortex.
