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).

Famous quotes containing the word human:
“Is this testing whether I’m a replicant or a lesbian, Mr. Deckard?”
—David Webb Peoples, U.S. screenwriter, and Ridley Scott. Rachel, Blade Runner, being tested to determine if she is human or machine (1982)
“The moral qualities are more apt to grow when a human being is useful, and they increase in the woman who helps to support the family rather than in the one who gives herself to idleness and fashionable frivolities.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“I should say tact was worth much more than wealth as a road to leadership.... I mean that subtle apprehension which teaches a person how to do and say the right thing at the right time. It coexists with very ordinary qualities, and yet many great geniuses are without it. Of all human qualities I consider it the most convenient—not always the highest; yet I would rather have it than many more shining qualities.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
