GROSS ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Your brain’s parietal lobe is a key part of your understanding of the world around you. It processes your sense of touch and assembles input from your other senses into a form you can use. Your parietal lobe also helps you understand where you are in relation to other things that your senses are picking up around you.

Detailed explanation-2: -Neurons of the visual system that exhibit depth specificity are prevalent in the medial temporal region of the cerebral cortex. Electrical activation of these cells can bias an observer’s depth estimates, indicating that they play an important role in depth perception.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The Parietal Lobes are located behind the frontal lobes and above the temporal lobes. One of their main functions is to allow us to make sense of things we touch – for example, whether an object is smooth or sharp, firm or soft. The parietal lobes also tell us where our body is in relation to the objects around us.
