Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What part of the brain is in concerned with the perception of stimuli such as touch, pressure, temperature and pain?
A
Frontal lobe
B
Parietal lobe
C
Temporal lobe
D
Occipital lobe
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The parietal lobe is behind the frontal lobe, separated by the central sulcus. Areas in the parietal lobe are responsible for integrating sensory information, including touch, temperature, pressure and pain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Parietal lobe. The middle part of the brain, the parietal lobe helps a person identify objects and understand spatial relationships (where one’s body is compared with objects around the person). The parietal lobe is also involved in interpreting pain and touch in the body.

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain’s parietal lobe is located immediately behind the frontal lobe, and is involved in processing information from the body’s senses. It contains the somatosensory cortex, which is essential for processing sensory information from across the body, such as touch, temperature, and pain.

Detailed explanation-4: -Your parietal lobe helps with your sense of direction relative to the world around you. A major part of that is how you tell left from right, how you orient yourself and parts of your body using your eyesight, and how you understand sensory input from both sides of your body.

Detailed explanation-5: -The somatosensory cortex receives tactile information from the body, including sensations such as touch, pressure, temperature, and pain. This sensory information is then carried to the brain via neural pathways to the spinal cord, brainstem, and thalamus.
