Alternative Figure 6.1A: Motor and Somatosensory Cortical Areas – Lateral View

An illustration of the brain’s lateral view shows the primary motor and somatosensory cortex along with the associated cortical motor and sensory areas labeled. The labels are as follows. Brodmann’s area 4 is in the primary motor cortex. Brodmann’s areas 3, 1, 2 are in the primary somatosensory cortex. Brodmann’s areas 5, 7 are in the parietal association cortex, and Brodmann’s area 6 is in the supplementary motor area.
