The somatosensory association area is a region of the cerebral cortex located in the parietal lobe. The parietal lobe is one of the four main lobes of the cerebral cortex, and it is located near the top and back of the head.
It is involved in a variety of functions, including touch, sensation, spatial awareness, and the integration of sensory information from different sources.
The somatosensory association area is specifically responsible for processing and interpreting information related to touch, including texture, shape, and temperature.
It plays a key role in our ability to perceive and understand the physical properties of objects in the environment.
