The primary sensory cortex (or primary somatosensory cortex) is part of the postcentral gyrus in the brain, which forms part of the parietal lobe.
The main function of the primary sensory cortex is it is a receptor for the sense of touch.

Which of the areas of the cerebral cortex receives sensation?
The primary sensory area which is located on the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe.
Is it true that information flows from the sensory receptors to the appropriate primary sensory cortex?
Yes
What lobe is sensory cortex located?
==> Controls impulses ==> Controls judgment ==> Language production ==> Working memory ==> Motor function ==> Working the memory ==> Problem solving ==> Socialization ==> Spontaneities ==> Planning ==> Coordination ==> Controlling ==> Executing behavior
What is the largest portion of the primary motor and sensory cortex devoted to?
fingertips
Where is the primary auditory cortex is located?
The primary auditory cortex is located in the Temporal Lobe of the brain.
Where is located the primary motor cortex?
The primary motor cortex is located in the precentral gyrus of the the frontal lobe of the cerebrum.
What is the major relay station for sensory information ascending to primary sensory areas of the cerebral cortex?
The thalamus encloses the shallow third ventricle of the brain, and is the relay station for sensory impulses passing upwards to the sensory cortex.
What separates the sensory strip from the motor strip?
The primary somatosensory cortex, or sensory strip, is responsible for processing sensory information from the body. In contrast, the primary motor cortex, or motor strip, is involved in planning and executing voluntary movements. These areas are adjacent to each other in the brain's cerebral cortex, but each has distinct functions related to sensation and movement.
What sulcus separates the primary motor cortex fron the primary sensory cortex?
The central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex of brains in vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando.The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.
The primary auditory cortex is located in the .?
the temporal lobe
What structure is the last one that sensory information would encounter during visual processing?
primary visual cortex
What structure is the last structure that sensory information would encounter during visual processing?
primary visual cortex
