The '''postcentral sulcus''' of the [[parietal lobe]] lies parallel to, and behind, the [[central sulcus]] in the human [[brain]].  (A ''sulcus'' is one of the prominent grooves on the surface of the [[brain]].)

The postcentral sulcus divides the [[postcentral gyrus]] from the remainder of the [[parietal lobe]].
