Detailed explanation-1: -The parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell. It is home to the brain’s primary somatic sensory cortex (see image 2), a region where the brain interprets input from other areas of the body.
Detailed explanation-2: -Your parietal lobe is located between your frontal and occipital lobes and above your temporal lobe. Functions of your parietal lobe include: Sensory information (touch, pressure, pain, position, vibration, temperature) processing. Spatial processing and spatial manipulation.
Detailed explanation-3: -The somatosensory cortex in the front part of the parietal lobe resides in two areas: the postcentral gyrus and the posterior paracentral lobule. It helps process and interpret touch sensations and helps discriminate between them.
Detailed explanation-4: -An overview of lesion and unit recording data in the rat indicates that the parietal cortex is involved in different aspects of spatial information processing including allocentric and egocentric processing.
