The Primary Somatosensory Cortex. Parts of the cerebral cortex in the parietal lobe are involved with processing information related to touch. One such area is the primary somatosensory cortex which is located behind the central sulcus.Neurons in the primary somatosensory are activated when the skin is touched.However, the body is NOT represented in the cortex in proportion to the amount of skin. A map of the human somatosensory cortex was drawn by Dr. Wilder Penfield, a neurosurgeon, in the 1950s.eurons in the primary somatosensory are activated when the skin is touched.

Several areas of the parietal lobe are important in language processing. The somatosensory cortex can be illustrated as a distorted figure â the homunculus (Latin : little man), in which the body parts are rendered according to how much of the somatosensory cortex is devoted to them.he parietal lobe plays important roles in integrating sensory information from various parts of the body, knowledge of numbers and their relations, and in the manipulation of objects. Its function also includes processing information relating to the sense of touch.
