You may have noticed that these sensory maps ofthe brain do not map âareasâ of sensation ontoequivalent areas of cortical surface. For example,the small center our visual fields, the macula, ismapped onto a disproportionately large area ofvisual cortex. For the auditory cortex, the lowest1,000 Hz in our hearing range covers as much areaon the cortex as the upper 8,000 Hz. And finally,the homunculus on the sensory cortex looks barelyhuman. It has a large representation of the faceand hands compared with the torso, arms and legs.Why is this?The reason is the brain maps each sensory receptoronto the cortex rather than considering the area ofthe body where the sensor is located.
