Question

a 24 - year - old man received a gunshot that damaged his postcentral gyrus. this will most probably lead to what? select all that apply. loss of proprioception loss of two - point discrimination in the trunk or extremities loss of hearing loss of vibratory sense

Explanation:

The postcentral gyrus is the primary somatosensory cortex. Proprioception (awareness of body position), two - point discrimination (ability to distinguish two points on the skin), and vibratory sense are all somatosensory functions. Hearing is a function of the temporal lobe (auditory cortex). So damage to the postcentral gyrus would affect somatosensory functions like proprioception, two - point discrimination, and vibratory sense.

Answer:

Loss of proprioception, Loss of two - point discrimination in the trunk or extremities, Loss of vibratory sense.
