HELP ASAPPP!!!!!!

Jessica is a competitive swimmer, but she hates swimming at one particular pool because it is always so much colder than the others. What part of her brain allows her to determine the temperature difference between the pools?

The input from the temperature sensors of our body (and in this case skin) are processed in the central part of the brain known as the parietal lobe.

Other cortical processes occurring here are touch and pain as well as the interpretation of language and words together with the interpretation of signals from vision, hearing, sensory, motor and memory.

Our self perception and interaction with the world occurs here too.
