Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which Specialized Area of the Cerebrum is located in the Parietal Lobe?
A
Broca’s
B
Primary Motor Area
C
Cerebral Cortex
D
Somatic Sensory Area
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The posterior parietal lobe has two regions: the superior parietal lobule and the inferior parietal lobule. The superior parietal lobule contains the somatosensory association (BA 5, 7) cortex which is involved in higher-order functions like motor planning action.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary motor cortex, or M1, is located on the precentral gyrus and on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface of the brain.

Detailed explanation-3: -The parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell. It is home to the brain’s primary somatic sensory cortex (see image 2), a region where the brain interprets input from other areas of the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The frontal lobe also contains the primary motor cortex, the major region responsible for voluntary movement.

Detailed explanation-5: -3.1 The Primary Somatosensory Cortex. The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) is located in the anterior part of the parietal lobe, where it constitutes the postcentral gyrus.
