The parietal lobe is a part of the brain located at the top of the head. It is responsible for processing sensory information, such as touch, pressure, and pain, as well as spatial orientation. It also plays a role in language comprehension and mathematical reasoning. The parietal lobe is divided into two parts: the superior parietal lobule and the inferior parietal lobule. The superior parietal lobule is involved in visual-spatial processing, while the inferior parietal lobule is involved in language processing.
