  2. Paracentral lobule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paracentral_lobule

    In neuroanatomy, the paracentral lobule is on the medial surface of the cerebral hemisphere and is the continuation of the precentral and postcentral gyri.The paracentral lobule controls motor and sensory innervations of the contralateral lower extremity.

  3. Motor cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cortex

    It is located on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface. 2. The premotor cortex is responsible for some aspects of motor control, possibly including the preparation for movement, the sensory guidance of movement, the spatial guidance of reaching, or the direct control of some movements with an emphasis on control of proximal and ...

  4. Brodmann area 5 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brodmann_area_5

    BA5 is part of the superior parietal lobule and part of the postcentral gyrus. It is situated immediately posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex. [4] It is bounded cytoarchitecturally by Brodmann area 2, Brodmann area 7, Brodmann area 4, and Brodmann area 31. [4]

  5. Cingulate cortex - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cingulate_cortex

    This site is the target of deep-brain stimulation therapy for depression, an invasive therapy used when all other treatment methods have failed. [ 7 ] Isolated stroke of the cingulate gyrus has also been found to induce depression, potentially implicating this region in post-stroke depression which may occur following stroke of a larger part of ...

  6. Limbic lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limbic_lobe

    The limbic lobe is an arc-shaped cortical region of the limbic system, on the medial surface of each cerebral hemisphere of the mammalian brain, consisting of parts of the frontal, parietal and temporal lobes.

  7. Marginal sulcus - Wikipedia

    It separates the paracentral lobule anteriorly and the precuneus posteriorly. Additional images. Position of marginal sulcus (shown in red).

  8. Precuneus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precuneus

    Sensorimotor Anterior Region. This occurs around the margin of the cingulate sulcus ( blue in figure) and is connected with sensorimotor areas of the cerebral cortex such as the paracentral lobule, supplementary motor area, premotor cortex, somatosensory area (Brodmann area 2), parietal operculum and insula. fMRI Research upon humans finds a connection with the caudalmost part of ...

  9. Dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsal_column–medial...

    The dorsal column–medial lemniscus pathway (DCML) (also known as the posterior column-medial lemniscus pathway (PCML) is the major sensory pathway of the central nervous system that conveys sensations of fine touch, vibration, two-point discrimination, and proprioception (body position) from the skin and joints.
