It is the location of the 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, called the sensory homunculus . </P> <P> The primary somatosensory cortex was initially defined from surface stimulation studies of Wilder Penfield, and parallel surface potential studies of Bard, Woolsey, and Marshall . Although initially defined to be roughly the same as Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2, more recent work by Kaas has 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 projections from the sensory input fields . </P>

Where is the primary somatosensory area of the cerebral hemisphere found
