Answer:

Stimulation of the primary Somatosensory cortex results in sensations similar to that of being touched on a part of one’s body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Primary somatosensory cortex is the region located posterior to the central sulcus. It is the region where sensory information arrives from the skin and skeletal muscles. Function of the region is to receive information regarding touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain from sense organs present in the skin. This region also receives information regarding position of the body. Hence, stimulation of the primary somatosensory cortex simulates touch stimulus to the skin.
