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

• Top-down path to region: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Superior Parietal Lobule (NC.SPL) -> Somatosensory Association Cortex (NCP.NC.SPL.SA) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Brodmann ID: 05
• Role: cortex.generic
• Function: Locating objects in space
• Notes to function: PE, somatosensory, guiding movement by providing information about limb position
