The sensory cortex can refer sometimes to the primary somatosensory cortex, or it can be used as a term for the primary and secondary cortices of the different...

The sensory nervous system is a part of the nervous system responsible for processing sensory information. A sensory system consists of sensory neurons...

primary somatosensory cortex, the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch. Like other sensory areas, there is a map of sensory space in this location...

visual cortex of the brain is the area of the cerebral cortex that processes visual information. It is located in the occipital lobe. Sensory input originating...

cerebral cortex. Within the cerebral cortex, sensations are linked with other cortical areas. Sensory pathways from the periphery to the cortex are separate...

suggested that for homogeny with other sensory fields only area 3 should be referred to as "primary somatosensory cortex", as it receives the bulk of the thalamocortical...

cortex and relate it to other measures. The thickness of different cortical areas varies but in general, sensory cortex is thinner than motor cortex....

motor cortex. These different pathways are thought to transmit different modalities of sensory information from the whisker. The whisker barrel cortex contains...

of brain areas dedicated to sensory processing for different anatomical divisions of the body. The primary sensory cortex is located in the postcentral...

a hierarchy of sensory information processing in the brain. This should not be confused with the function of the primary motor cortex, which is the last...

The association cortex is a part of the cerebral cortex that performs complex cognitive functions. Unlike primary sensory or motor areas, which process...

the six-layered cortex, is a set of layers of the mammalian cerebral cortex involved in higher-order brain functions such as sensory perception, cognition...

neighboring neurons in the somatosensory cortex represent nearby locations on the skin or in the body, creating a map or sensory homunculus. Tactile signing is...

somatosensory cortex which is just posterior to the central sulcus in the postcentral gyrus, and the dorsal stream of the visual system. The major sensory inputs...

receptor inputs or motor outputs, where A is the association cortex and S is the sensory cortex. The A/S ratio can be measured for any organism with a brain...

entirety of the frontal cortex can be considered the "action cortex", much as the posterior cortex is considered the "sensory cortex". It is devoted to action...

arbitrary sensory stimuli with specific movements or learning arbitrary response rules. In this sense, it may resemble the prefrontal cortex more than...

a microscope. The cortex is divided into two main functional areas – a motor cortex and a sensory cortex. The primary motor cortex, which sends axons...

The human secondary somatosensory cortex (S2, SII) is a region of sensory cortex in the parietal operculum on the ceiling of the lateral sulcus. Region...

nerve signals from the motor cortex to the body, and from the afferent fibers of the sensory neurons to the sensory cortex. It is also a center for coordinating...

perirhinal cortex is a cortical region in the medial temporal lobe that is made up of Brodmann areas 35 and 36. It receives highly processed sensory information...

projections from multiple sensory modalities. The primary olfactory cortex, gustatory cortex, secondary somatosensory cortex, superior and inferior temporal...

Torsten Wiesel followed up on Mountcastle's discoveries in the somatic sensory cortex with their own studies in vision. A part of the discoveries that resulted...

In anatomy and zoology, the cortex (pl.: cortices) is the outermost (or superficial) layer of an organ. Organs with well-defined cortical layers include...

connections; hence, the part of the pallium responsible for sensory circuitry is also called the sensory cortex in birds. Within the pallium, the nidopallium caudolaterale...

2. The premotor cortex is responsible for some aspects of motor control, possibly including the preparation for movement, the sensory guidance of movement...

nipples in women resulted in the activation of the genital area of the sensory cortex. The research suggests the sensations are genital orgasms caused by...

multisensory stimuli observed in typically developing adults in the auditory cortex. Sensory processing disorder is accepted in the Diagnostic Classification of...

caused by nipple stimulation, and may be directly linked to the genital sensory cortex ("the genital area of the brain"). In Patterns of Sexual Behavior, a...

afferent neurons towards a specific area (cortex) of the brain. Just as different nerves are dedicated to sensory and motors tasks, different areas of the...
