The supramarginal gyrus is a region located in the parietal lobe of the brain, specifically at the junction of the temporal and occipital lobes. It plays a crucial role in integrating sensory information, particularly in processing language and spatial awareness. This area is involved in tasks that require understanding and interpreting complex stimuli. Additionally, the supramarginal gyrus is associated with various cognitive functions, including empathy and social cognition. Damage to this region can lead to difficulties in language comprehension and spatial orientation, highlighting its importance in everyday activities and communication.
