Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Information from skin receptors travel to the postcentral gyrus in the parietal lobe of the brain. The postcentral gyrus is also called the somatosensory cortex. This area of the brain not only receives sensations from skin receptors, it tracks it back to which area of the body is being stimulated, and then determines what type of sensation is being felt.
