DIAGRAM OF BRAIN (Parietal Lobe)

DIAGRAM OF BRAIN : PARIETAL LOBE

Parietal Lobe Overview

• Location: Upper middle part of the brain, behind the frontal lobe and above the occipital lobe.

• Function:

  • Processes sensory information (touch, pressure, temperature, pain).

  • Spatial awareness and navigation.

  • Hand-eye coordination and manipulation of objects.

  • Understanding language and mathematics (in some areas, like the left hemisphere).

Tip: On an actual brain, the central sulcus separates the frontal lobe (motor functions) from the parietal lobe (sensory functions).

Parietal Lobe - One of the two parietal lobes of the brain located behind the frontal lobe at the top of the brain.

Parietal Lobe, Right - Damage to this area can cause visuo-spatial deficits (e.g., the patient may have difficulty finding their way around new, or even familiar, places).

Parietal Lobe, Left - Damage to this area may disrupt a patient's ability to understand spoken and/or written language.

The parietal lobes contain the primary sensory cortex which controls sensation (touch, pressure). Behind the primary sensory cortex is a large association area that controls fine sensation (judgment of texture, weight, size, shape)
