Using your knowledge compare the size of the somatosensory cortex

The somatosensory cortex is present in a ridge of cortex of the parietal lobe of the brain. The function of the somatosensory cortex is to process somatic sensations such as touch, pain and temperature. The size of the somatosensory cortex increases in the blind where vision replaces touch. Bind use fingertips to see trough touch.
