Parietal Lobe
- Contains neurons that receive sensory information from the skin and tongue
- This lobe processes sensory information from the ears and eyes that are received in other lobes
- The major sensory inputs from the skin relay through the thalamus to parietal lobe
- The parietal lobe is located behind the central sulcus, which is near the back of the brain
- If this part of the brain gets injured, then the person with the injury will have trouble doing mathematics, difficulty with eye and hand coordination, and problems with drawing objects
- These sensations can be really important when you are trying to be comical and accidentally lean back into a cold pool while laughing with friends
