What is "sensory cortex"?
The sensory cortex, also known as the somatosensory cortex, is a region of the brain that is responsible for processing and interpreting sensory information from various parts of the body. It receives signals from sensory receptors and plays a key role in the perception of touch, temperature, pain, and body awareness. The sensory cortex is located in the parietal lobe of the brain and is organized in a way that different regions correspond to specific body areas, allowing for precise sensory perception and discrimination.
