@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainAreaNCP -> BrainRegionNCP_NC_PG_S2

This page covers biological details of component Secondary Somatosensory Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

Top-down path to region: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Postcentral Gyrus (NC.PG) -> Lateral Parietal Cortex (NC.PG.LPC) -> Secondary Somatosensory Cortex (NCP.NC.PG.S2) (see Mind Maps)
Type: cortex
Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
Brodmann ID: 40
Role: cortex.generic
Function: Sensorimotor integration, integration of information from two body halves
Notes to function: BA 1/3b; projects to PV/7b/INS/AM/HC
