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] The SMN is activated during motor tasks, such as finger tapping,[3] indicating that the network readies the brain when performing and coordinating motor tasks.[1]
Clinical significance
Dysfunction in the SMN has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric disorders.
- Bipolar Disorder: The psychomotor disturbances that characterize the depressive and manic phases of bipolar disorder may be related to dysfunction in the sensorimotor network (SMN) and its balance with other large-scale networks such as the default mode network.[4][5]
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis: Altered functional connectivity patterns in the SMN may contribute to various symptoms in the neurodegenerative disease .[1][3][6]
Nomenclature
In 2019, Uddin et al. proposed that pericentral network (PN) be used as a standard anatomical name for the network.[2]
