The top (dorsal) aspect of the cortex, in contrast to the frontal (front), temporal (side) and occipital (rear).
One of the four subdivisions of the cerebral cortex; it is involved in sensory processes, attention, and language.
The lobe in each cerebral hemisphere that lies between the occipital and frontal lobes, and that includes the primary sensory projection area.
The upper central portion of the cerebral hemisphere, posterior to the central sulcus, and anterior to the parietooccipital notch (medial hemisphere). image
lobe of the brain associated with speech, reading and the sense of taste.
The part of the brain located above and behind the temples (see Appendix 1). The parietal lobe deals with the perception of touch and the integration of all the senses. Damage here can lead to varied consequences ranging from a difficulty in mathematics (dyscalculia) to a failure to recognise previously well-known faces.
that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying below the crown of the head
located at about midpoint in the top of the brain, this major division of the cortex processes sensory input and has a critical role in verbal and spatial reasoning and musical sound recognition.
the division of the cerebral hemisphere lying behind the frontal lobe. It receives and processes sensations of touch including pain, heat, cold, pressure, size, shape, and texture. Also the combined analysis of information from the various senses occurs in this lobe. (Part of the cerebral hemisphere)
Part of the brain responsible for understanding and interpreting multisensory input (auditory, visual, somatic).
Region of the cerebral hemisphere posterior to the central fissure and superior to the lateral fissure.
Located above the ear, it interprets sensory cues.
One of the two parietal lobes of the brain located behind the frontal lobe at the top of the brain.
The middle portion of each cerebral hemisphere.
Bounded by the central fissure, lateral fissure, parieto-occipital sulcus and an imaginary line extending from the superior margin of the parieto-occipital sulcus to the pre-occipital notch. This lobe includes the primary somesthetic area association cortex concerned with understanding and interpreting multisensory (auditory, visual, somatic) input.
An area where information from the sense of touch and other sensory information is processed.
The lobe of the cerebral cortex that lies at the top of the brain; processes information about touch, taste, pressure, pain, and heat and cold. PICTURE
brain lobe which interprets sensory input and the body?s relation to space.
Area of the brain that lies in front of the occipital lobe that is important in processing information from the sense of touch and bringing together sensory information.
One of the four subdivisions of the cerebral cortex. It plays a role in sensory processes, attention and language.
Damage to right lobe can cause visual-spatial deficits. Damage to the left lobe may disrupt a patient’s ability to understand spoken and/or written language.
one of the major divisions of each cerebral hemisphere, lying behind the frontal lobe, above the temporal lobe and in front of the occipital lobe. It contains the sensory cortex and association areas of the brain.
An area on each hemisphere of the cerebral cortex located above the temporal lobe that processes somatic, sensory information. Reference: B1
a part of the brain important for interpreting sensory information about body movement, pain, temperature, and proprioception
Area of cerebrum; sensations such as touch, pressure, pain, and temperature are both perceived and interpreted.
a lobe of the cerebral cortex responsible for processing body sensations and perceiving spatial relations. (85)
The part of each cerebral hemisphere primarily concerned with the perception and interpretation of sensation and movement.
Involved in sensations of pain and touch, spatial orientation, and speech
Area in the cerebral hemispheres that controls sensory and motor information.
the middle lobe of each cerebral hemisphere between the frontal and occipital lobes; it contains important sensory centers.
A portion of the cerebral hemisphere, behind the central fissure and between the frontal and occipital lobes. See also frontal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe.
The parietal lobe is a lobe in the brain. It is positioned above (superior to) the occipital lobe and behind (posterior to) the frontal lobe.
