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:
“All those who write either explicitly or by insinuation against the dignity, freedom, and immortality of the human soul, may so far forth be justly said to unhinge the principles of morality, and destroy the means of making men reasonably virtuous.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
“History can predict nothing except that great changes in human relationships will never come about in the form in which they have been anticipated.”
—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Every idea is endowed of itself with immortal life, like a human being. All created form, even that which is created by man, is immortal. For form is independent of matter: molecules do not constitute form.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
