Broadmann areas

• Primary somatosensory is located on the poste central gyrus
• Primary somatosensory area is involved in the awareness of fine touch
• Somatosensory association area is posterior to primary somatosensory
• Somatosensory association area analyses and recognises touch sensations
• Primary motor area is on the precentral gyrus
• Primary motor is involved in voluntary movement
• Pre-motor area is anterior to primary motor
• Pre-motor area is responsible for planning and sequence of movment
• Orbitofrontal area is the most anterior
• Orbitofrontal area is involved in decision making
• Broca's area is the most inferior of frontal lobe
• Broca's area is responsible for stimulating speech muscles
• Primary and associative auditory areas are located below the lateral sulcus
• Primary auditory area is involved in the awareness of sound (pitch and location)
• Associative auditory area is involved in analysing and recognising sound
• Wernicks area sits in the temporal and parietal lobes
• Wernick's area is involved in language perception
• Primary and associative visual cortex are located in most posterior of the occipital lobe
• Primary visual area is involved in awareness of visual stimuli
• Associative visual areas are involved in analysing visual stimuli e.g colour
