<P> The primary somatosensory cortex is located in the postcentral gyrus , and is part of the somatosensory system . It was initially defined from surface stimulation studies of Wilder Penfield , and parallel surface potential studies of Bard , Woolsey , and Marshall . Although initially defined to be roughly the same as Brodmann areas 3 , 1 and 2 , more recent work by Kaas has suggested that for homogeny with other sensory fields only area 3 should be referred to as `` primary somatosensory cortex '' , as it receives the bulk of the thalamocortical projections from the sensory input fields . </P>
