Question

the ___is the area that allows us to pinpoint the location of pain, identify a texture and be aware of how our limbs are positioned?

Answer 1

The somatosensory cortex is a region of the brain which is responsible for receiving and processing sensory information from across the body, such as touch, temperature, and pain.

Area 1 specifically is important in sensing the texture of an object. :)

Hope this helps!
