Recent studies of the postcentral and additional somatosensory cortices support a hierarchical scheme for information processing. In the postcentral gyrus, the complexity of receptive field properties increases with caudal progression from area 1. It has been reported that the anterior bank of the intraparietal sulcus, the caudalmost part of the postcentral gyrus, is responsible for the systematic integration of bilateral body parts, as well as of somatic and visual information.
最近对中央后回和其他体感皮层的研究支持了一种信息处理的层级模式。在中央后回中，感受野特性的复杂性从1区开始随着向尾侧的推进而增加。据报道，顶内沟的前缘，即中央后回的最尾端部分，负责双侧身体部位以及躯体和视觉信息的系统整合。
