Sensorimotor network

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]
