Which area of the brain receives information collected from mechanoreceptors?
A
Hippocampus
B
Cerebellum
C
Occipital lobe
D
Somatosensory cortex
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mechanoreceptors are sensory receptors that respond to mechanical pressure or distortion, such as touch, pressure, vibration, and proprioception.
Recognize that the brain processes sensory information in specific areas depending on the type of sensation and its source.
Recall that the somatosensory cortex is the region of the brain responsible for processing sensory input from the body, including information from mechanoreceptors.
Differentiate the somatosensory cortex from other brain areas: the hippocampus is involved in memory, the cerebellum in motor control, and the occipital lobe in visual processing.
Conclude that the somatosensory cortex is the correct area that receives and interprets information collected from mechanoreceptors.
