{{Unreferenced The primary sensory areas are the main cerebral areas that receive sensory information from [[thalamus Taan brain that receive primary sensory information remain poorly defined, each of the five sensory modalities has been recognized to relate to specific groups of brain cells that begin to categorize and integrate sensory information.

Somatosensory system: The primary somatosensory cortex (SI) is across the central sulcus and behind the primary motor cortex configured to generally correspond with the arelated to specific body parts. The area includes gray matter along the central gyrus and its extension into the postcentral gyrus.
Taste: The primary gustatory area is near the face representation within the postcentral gyrus. It starts at about the mirections|lateral]] point on the gyrus and continues into the insular cortex where the is the only sensory system that is not routed through the thalamus.
Vision: The visual area known as V1, striate cortex, or (primary visual cortex, Brodmann area 17) is located on the calcarine sulcus deep within the inside folds of the occipital lobe.
