sensorimotor cortex

The sensorimotor cortex is a part of the brain responsible for controlling movement and processing sensations from the body. It helps plan, coordinate, and execute voluntary actions, like moving your limbs or facial expressions, and also interprets sensory information such as touch, temperature, and pain from different body parts. Located in the brain's outer layer, it works closely with other regions to ensure smooth, purposeful movements and accurate perception of sensory inputs. This area is essential for everyday activities, enabling us to interact effectively with our environment.
