The secondary somatosensory cortex (S2) maps both sides of the body in registered overlay (ie. the left-arm and right-arm representations occupy the same part of the map and so forth). In recent studies, the S2 has been implicated in information integration, grounded essentially in spatial body maps, allowing humans to form complex relations between the body and the environmental space (establishing a body-in-world map).
