Central winding rear

Gyrus postcentralis

Brain winding (one on the right hemisphere and one on the left) located directly behind the central furrow on the outside of the hemisphere and slightly on its inside.

The cortex layer of the winding forms what is known as the "primary sensory cortex" (primary sensory cortex, primary somato-sensory cortex : SS I). Cytoarchitecturally , the bark layer corresponds to Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2).
