Network of the brain used for somatosensory-informed coordination of movement
The sensorimotor network (SMN ), also known as somatomotor network , is a large-scale brain network that primarily includes somatosensory (postcentral gyrus ) and motor (precentral gyrus ) regions and extends to the supplementary motor areas (SMA).[ 1] The auditory cortex may also be included,[ 2] as well as the visual cortex .[ 3] The SMN is activated during motor tasks, such as finger tapping,[ 4] indicating that the network readies the brain when performing and coordinating motor tasks.[ 1]
Clinical significance [ edit ]
Dysfunction in the SMN has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders .
In 2019, Uddin et al. proposed that pericentral network (PN ) be used as a standard anatomical name for the network.[ 2]
