The somatosensory cortex deals with afferent nerves from the somatosensory receptors (skin sensation). That much I know. I thought vision was dealt with by the visual cortex, etc. Maybe this term is an acceptable umbrellaterm? I don't know, I think the sensory processing brain may be a little too divided up to talk of a specific sensory cortex. Just a hunch. Orimlig 01:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
isn't this information covered in Sensory system or Brain? Couldn't this just be merged? Minnaert 17:31, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Obviously, the term "sensory cortex" creates confusion, so I clarified what is meant with sensory cortex. I think it shouldn't be merged, because if you read a neuroscience book and mix up sensory and somatosensory, it's good that you can check Wikipedia. :) Lova Falk 07:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
