Abstract:
The study of human brain sensomotor cortex architectonics within the period since birth up to 20 years with a year long intervals demonstrated that pyramidal neurons differentiation is most intensive in area 4p throughout the period since birth up to 6 months, in area 6p--up to one year and in area 6op--up to 2 years. Pyramidal neurons proportion in sublayer 3 increases significantly in all sensomotor cortex areas within the first postnatal year and its growth continues up to 15-16 years. In area 5 proportion of pyramidal neurons in areas studied undergoes the period of intensive growth up to one year, than it starts to increase by 6-7 years, and finishes its growth in areas 6 and 6op by 14 years and in area 4p--by 16 years.

Motor and Sensory Areas of the Cortex
Motor Areas
The motor areas located in the frontal lobe are central to controlling voluntary movements. This region is further subdivided into the primary motor cortex and the premotor cortex.
Association Areas of the Cortex
Prefrontal Association Area: This area is located in the frontal lobe and is involved in planning, decision-making, and moderating social behavior. It connects with primary motor areas,...
