  2. Somatosensory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatosensory_system

    Area S2 is involved with specific touch perception and is thus integrally linked with the amygdala and hippocampus to encode and reinforce memories. Parietal ventral area is the somatosensory relay to the premotor cortex and somatosensory memory hub, BA5. BA5 is the topographically organized somato memory field and association area.

  3. Somatic nervous system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somatic_nervous_system

    With each segment, there is a pair of sensory and motor nerves. 31 segments of nerves are in the spinal cord and 12 are in the brain stem. [4] Interneurons also known as association neurons are present throughout the central nervous system forming links between the sensory and motor fibres. [5] Thus the somatic nervous system consists of two parts:

  4. Sensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_cortex

    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 senses (two cortices each, on left and right hemisphere): the visual cortex on the occipital lobes, the auditory cortex on the temporal lobes, the primary olfactory cortex on the uncus of the piriform region of the temporal lobes, the ...

  5. Motor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex

    The motor cortex can be divided into three areas: 1. The primary motor cortex is the main contributor to generating neural impulses that pass down to the spinal cord and control the execution of movement. However, some of the other motor areas in the brain also play a role in this function.

  6. Secondary somatosensory cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_somatosensory_cortex

    An area at the entrance to the lateral sulcus, adjoining the primary somatosensory cortex (S1), is called the parietal ventral (PV) area. Posterior to PV is the secondary somatosensory area (area S2, which must not be confused with "region S2" which designates the entire secondary somatosensory cortex, of which area S2 is a part).

  7. Association cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_cortex

    The association cortex is a part of the cerebral cortex that performs complex cognitive functions. [1] [2] Unlike primary sensory or motor areas, which process specific sensory inputs or motor outputs, the association cortex integrates information from various sources to support higher-order cognitive processes. This integration allows for ...

    The Group of Eight. If you haven’t noticed, the SEC and Big Ten, from a resource and success standpoint, are distancing themselves from the other conferences in college athletics.

  9. Motor cognition - Wikipedia

    Such an association can then be used backward to retrieve a movement by anticipating its effects. These perception/action codes are also accessible during action observation. Other authors suggest a new notion of the phylogenetic and ontogenetic origin of action understanding that utilizes the motor system; the motor cognition hypothesis.
