parietal lobe definition and meaning

What is "parietal lobe"?

The parietal lobe is a region of the brain that is responsible for processing sensory information and coordinating various cognitive functions. It is located at the top and back of the cerebral hemispheres. The parietal lobe plays a vital role in integrating sensory inputs from different parts of the body, such as touch, temperature, and proprioception. It also contributes to spatial perception, attention, language comprehension, and mathematical reasoning. By processing sensory information and integrating it with other cognitive processes, the parietal lobe helps us perceive our environment, understand spatial relationships, and interact with the world around us.

Examples
