What Does PSC Stand For?
PSC stands for Primary Somatosensory Cortex
The Primary Somatosensory Cortex (PSC) is a crucial region of the brain located in the parietal lobe, responsible for processing sensory information from the body. It plays a key role in perceiving touch, temperature, pain, and proprioception, enabling the integration of sensory inputs to inform the brain about bodily states and external stimuli. The PSC is organized somatotopically, meaning different areas correspond to different body parts, facilitating precise sensory mapping and responsive motor control.
