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 lobes are primarily responsible for receiving and processing sensory input such as touch, pressure, heat, cold, and pain. The parietal lobes are also involved in the perception of body awareness and the construction of a spatial coordinate system (mental map) to represent the world around us.

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
