postcentral gyrus

Just posterior to the central sulcus lies the postcentral gyrus.

Taste: The primary gustatory area is near the face representation within the postcentral gyrus.

One major target within the brain is the postcentral gyrus in the cerebral cortex.

This occurs when a seizure occurs in the postcentral gyrus.

Digit somatotopy within cortical areas of the postcentral gyrus in humans.

The area includes gray matter along the central gyrus and its extension into the postcentral gyrus.

It then projects this sensory information to Brodmann's Areas 3, 1 and 2 in the postcentral gyrus.

Typically, the area of the body corresponds to a point on the primary somatosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus).

The third order neuron in the thalamus then connects to the sensory cortex of the postcentral gyrus.

The lateral postcentral gyrus is a prominent structure in the parietal lobe of the human brain and an important landmark.

The lateral postcentral gyrus is bounded by:

The postcentral gyrus is the location of the primary somatosensory area, the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch.

The postcentral sulcus divides the postcentral gyrus from the remainder of the parietal lobe.

Projections from the VPN to the postcentral gyrus account for the transfer of sensory information concerning touch and pain.

It occupies most of the parietal lobe excluding the postcentral gyrus and superior parietal lobule.

These fibres terminate on the ventrobasal complex of the thalamus and synapse with the dendrites of the Postcentral gyrus.

Information from receptors travel through afferent neurons in the spinal cord to the postcentral gyrus of the parietal lobe in the brain.

S1 (brain region), also known as the Primary somatosensory cortex, the Postcentral gyrus and as Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2.

Sensation has been tested in patients through the stimulation of the postcentral gyrus, with a drop in amplitude of sensory responses occurring towards the central sulcus.

Astereognosis can be caused by damage to the posterior association areas of the parietal, temporal, or occipital lobes, or the postcentral gyrus of either hemisphere.

It conveys facial sensory information of the trigeminothalamic tract, from the solitary tract and the trigeminal nerve and projects to the postcentral gyrus.

The homunculus is oriented with feet medial and shoulders lateral on top of both the precentral and the postcentral gyrus (for both motor and sensory).

They found that the left postcentral gyrus and the bilateral putamen had increased ALFF in PKD patients.

This sensation may progress along a limb or to adjacent cutaneous body areas, reflecting abnormal neuronal firing in the postcentral gyrus where an epileptic discharge is propagated.

Immediately posterior to the central sulcus, and the most anterior part of the parietal lobe, is the postcentral gyrus (Brodmann area 3), the secondary somatosensory cortical area.
