Somatosensory Cortex Diagram - Brain Body Sensory Mapping Explained #265297 (License: Personal Use)

This medical illustration depicts the sensory homunculus, where the size of each body part reflects its relative representation in the primary somatosensory cortex. Labels identify key regions like fingers, lips, face, and trunk, with color-coded bands linking them to corresponding cortical zones. The exaggerated features (e.g., oversized hands and lips) emphasize neural investment in fine tactile discrimination.

Used in neuroscience education, medical textbooks, and health websites to explain sensory processing; targets students, clinicians, and curious learners seeking visual understanding of brain-body mapping.
