The somesthetic sense, which includes sensations such as touch, pain, temperature, and proprioception, is primarily processed in the somatosensory cortex. This region is located in the parietal lobe of the brain, specifically in the postcentral gyrus. Sensory information from the body is relayed through the thalamus to the somatosensory cortex, allowing for the perception and interpretation of these sensations.
