What Wikipedia says

A cortical homunculus (from Latin homunculus 'little man, miniature human') is a distorted representation of the human body, based on a neurological "map" of the areas and portions of the human brain dedicated to processing motor functions, and/or sensory functions, for different parts of the body.
