Post-Central Region

**Postcentral areas** are areas of the parietal lobe of the dominant hemisphere. The center for the production of all motor movements in the body is located in the motor zone of the frontal lobe. The inferior paracentral cortex of the dominant parietal region is associated with sensitivity and kinesthetics. Sensitive information here is sent to the postcentral area along the lateral sulcus, which, turning to the side, connects with the lateral surface of the postcentral gyri, where the cortical cells responsible for body movement are located.

The postcentral cortex has a large output zone, constituting the cortical part of those fibers of the pyramidal tract that emerge from this region. They are large straight dendrites of cells ending in many axons entering the stem sections of the motor analyzer. These fibers transmit commands from the cortex to the spinal cord. Thus, the region provides communication between cortical cells and the cerebellum and spinal cord. Based on the above facts, we can conclude that the postcentral gyrus functions as a kind of communication formation between the cortex and the subcortical level. She is involved in organizing precise movements. This concerns
