Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each lobe processes a different kind of information: The frontal lobe is involved in complex thinking, like planning, imagining, making decisions, and reasoning. It’s located behind the forehead. The parietal (peh-RYE-et-el) lobe processes information about touch, taste, and temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -The parietal lobe, located behind the frontal lobe, processes information about touch, taste, and temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -All about the parietal lobe. The parietal lobe is one of the brain’s major lobes, roughly located at the upper back area in the skull. It processes sensory information received from the outside world, mainly relating to touch, taste, and temperature. Damage to the parietal lobe may lead to dysfunction in the senses.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
