"The little man in the brain." So this is a representation of the proportional amount of sensory and motory space in the brain devoted to each body part. It's interesting that alot of people when asked wheter they would lose a hand or foot answer hand (except for artists and musicians) because they fear losing mobility. But this picture makes it obvious, they're your MVPs. Imagine if humanity had tried to develop the modern world without hands. Surprised the junk is so small, at least on the sensory side - not at the lack of motor skill though.
