Answer 2

Answer:

On the somatosensory homunculus, face is the  largest part.

Explanation:

• The homunculus on the sensory brain also hardly resembles a human being. Comparatively speaking to the torso, arms, and legs, it features a larger portrayal of the face and hands.
• Why is that so? The brain does not take into account the location of the sensor on the body while mapping each sensory receptor onto the cortex, which is the cause.

• Representation. Due to their peculiar sizes, Penfield refers to his works as "grotesque animals." For instance, the homunculus' hands are proportionally huge because the sensory nerves coming from the hands terminate across vast portions of the brain.
