the motor cortex functions in terms of overall movements as coordinated groups of individual motions. The sensorimotor homunculi can also be represented as 3-D figures (such as the sensory homunculus sculpted by Sharon Price-James shown from different angles below), which can make it easier for laymen to understand the ratios between the different body regions' levels of motor or sensory innervation. However, these 3-D models do not illustrate which areas of the brain are associated with which parts of the body. In a 2021 article by Haven Wright and Preston Foerder published in the peer-reviewed journal Leonardo entitled "The Missing Female Homunculus", the authors revisit the history of the homunculus, shed light on current research in neuroscience on the female brain, and reveal what they believe to be the first sculpture of the female homunculus, done by the artist and first author Haven Wright, based on the current research available.
