The motor cortex sits just posterior of the central fissure in the frontal lobes whereas the somatosensory cortex sits next to the central fissure in the parietal lobes of the cerebral cortex?

Wrong. The motor cortex is the prominent gyrus that is ancterior to the central sulcus. The Somatosensory cortex is the prominent gyrus that is posterior to the central sulcus.

Where is the major part of the somatosensory cortex located?
It is located just behind the central sulcus in the parietal lobe of the brain.
Central sulcus separates which lobes?
it seperates the parietal from the frontal lobe, also it seperates the primary motor lobe from the primary somatosensory cortex.
The primary visual area is located in the?
Post central gyrus of the parietal lobe in the cerebral cortex of the brain.
What sulcus separates the primary motor cortex fron the primary sensory cortex?
The central sulcus is a fold in the cerebral cortex of brains in vertebrates. Also called the central fissure, it was originally called the fissure of Rolando or the Rolandic fissure, after Luigi Rolando.The central sulcus is a prominent landmark of the brain, separating the parietal lobe from the frontal lobe and the primary motor cortex from the primary somatosensory cortex.
The primary somatosensory area and primary motor area are separated by?
central sulcus

What is located right behind the central sulcus?
somatosensory strip
The primary somatosensory area and primary motor area are separated by?
central sulcus
The primary somatosensory area and the primary motor area are separated by?
the central sulcus
What area is posterior to the central sulcus?
Postcentral gyrus, or the parietal lobe [Edit: The postcentral gyrus is posterior to the central sulcus, not anterior. The primary motor cortex is located directly anterior to the central sulcus.]
Discuss the representation of tactile information in the mammalian cerebral cortex?
The DCML- Dorsal column mediated leminiscal - system is one of the central pathways of the somatosensory system. This system is involved in mediating fine and discriminating touch. A-beta fibrers such as the Meisnerr's corpuscles, Merkel disks, Ruffinni corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles are involved in this pathway. They are called Tactile fibres. Axons from tactile afferents ascends spinal cord and synapse on the 2nd order of the Dorsal column nuclei of the medulla. Axons of the 2nd order neurons cross to other side of brainstem and ascend to the VP (ventral posterior) complex of thalamic nuclei. The 3rd order of the thalamic nuclei project onto the primary somatosensory cortex of the mammalian brain where the information is processed. The cerebral cortex consists of 2 types of neurons- the pyramidal neurons which is excitatory; and stellate neurons which are excitatory and inhibitory. The 3rd neuron has its cell body still in the VP of the thalamic nuclei and ends in the parietal lobe- the postcentral gyrus.
What separate the frontal and parietal lobes?
Central Sulcus
What lobe is sensory cortex located?
==> Controls impulses ==> Controls judgment ==> Language production ==> Working memory ==> Motor function ==> Working the memory ==> Problem solving ==> Socialization ==> Spontaneities ==> Planning ==> Coordination ==> Controlling ==> Executing behavior
In which is the cerebral lobes would the primary motor area be found?
The primary motor area is found in the frontal lobe of the brain.
