Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Brodmann's areas 5 and 7 are part of the parietal lobe and are involved in integrating sensory information and in spatial perception. Lesions in these areas can lead to impaired stereognosis (the ability to perceive and recognize the form of an object in the absence of visual and auditory information), deficits in spatial perception, and impaired motor planning. However, loss of tactile acuity, which refers to the sharpness or clarity of touch, is more directly associated with damage to the primary somatosensory cortex (Brodmann areas 1, 2, and 3) rather than areas 5 and 7.
