Specific parts of the cortex is specialized for specific functions. Primary = direct processing of primary sensory or motor info. Performs the actual task of the region. Secondary/Association = plans & integrates info for the primary area.
Q. What is the primary motor cortex of the brain?
The primary motor cortex, or M1, is one of the principal brain areas involved in motor function. M1 is located in the frontal lobe of the brain, along a bump called the precentral gyrus (figure 1a). The role of the primary motor cortex is to generate neural impulses that control the execution of movement.

Q. Is the premotor cortex an association area?
The anterior association area is in the frontal lobes. It is rostral to the postcentral gyri, Rolandic fissure, and premotor areas. It is referred to as prefrontal cortex.
Q. What is the association cortex responsible for?
Overview. The association cortices include most of the cerebral surface of the human brain and are largely responsible for the complex processing that goes on between the arrival of input in the primary sensory cortices and the generation of behavior.
Q. Where is the sensory cortex?
The primary somatosensory cortex is located in a ridge of cortex called the postcentral gyrus, which is found in the parietal lobe. It is situated just posterior to the central sulcus, a prominent fissure that runs down the side of the cerebral cortex.
Q. What does sensory cortex mean?
Sensory cortex refers to all cortical areas associated with sensory function. In the case of vision, this includes virtually all of the occipital cortex and much of the temporal and parietal cortex.
Q. How do you fix long term memory loss?
