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

  * *Top-down path to region*: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> [BrainCenterNC_SPL Superior Parietal Lobule] (NC.SPL) -> [BrainRegionNCP_NC_SPL_SA Somatosensory Association Cortex] (NCP.NC.SPL.SA) (see [OverallMindMaps Mind Maps])
  * *Type*: cortex
  * *Quality*: L0
  * *Brain area*: [BrainAreaNCP Neocortical Brain - Conscious Personality Area] (NCP)
  * *Area circuit*: Neocortical Somatic Aggregation (SOM)
  * *Brodmann ID*: 05
  * *Role*: cortex.generic
  * *Function*: Locating objects in space
  * *Notes to function*: 
   * PE, somatosensory, guiding movement by providing information about limb position
