Explanation: 

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: -The parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals. The parietal lobe is positioned above the temporal lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus. Lateral surface of left cerebral hemisphere, viewed from the side. (Parietal lobe is shown in orange.)

Detailed explanation-3: -Somatosensory cortex. The somatosensory cortex in the front part of the parietal lobe resides in two areas: the postcentral gyrus and the posterior paracentral lobule. Superior parietal lobule. Super marginal gyrus. Angular gyrus. 26-May-2020
