Somatic sensations arise in the cerebral cortex. In the sensory areas of cerebral cortex, the organization of inter-neurons corresponding to the body surface is present like a map.

The somato-sensory neurons carry information from the periphery to the central nervous system, whereas the motor neurons send information to muscles and glands.
