This page covers biological details of component Precentral Cortex. Region is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to region: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Postcentral Gyrus (NC.PG) -> Parietal Operculum (NC.PO) -> Precentral Cortex (NCP.NC.PO.PCC) (see Mind Maps)
• Type: cortex
• Brain area: Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area
• Brodmann ID: 43
• Role: cortex.generic
• Function: Gustatory cortical area, taste reception
