Human
Brodmann area 7, is part of the parietal cortex in the human brain. It also corresponds to the precuneus. Situated posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex (Brodmann areas 3, 1 and 2), and superior to visual cortices (Brodmann areas 17, 18 and 19), this region is believed to play a role in visuo-motor coordination (e.g., in reaching to grasp an object).
