The sensorimotor network (SMN ), also known as somatomotor network , is a large-scale brain network that primarily includes somatosensory (postcentral gyrus ) and motor (precentral gyrus ) regions and extends to the supplementary motor areas (SMA).[ 1] The auditory cortex may also be included,[ 2] as well as the visual cortex .[ 3] The SMN is activated during motor tasks, such as finger tapping,[ 4] indicating that the network readies the brain when performing and coordinating motor tasks.[ 1]
