The parietal lobe is one of the four major lobes of the cerebral cortex in the brain of mammals it is positioned above the temporal lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus. The parietal lobe processes sensory information, it is where information such as taste, temperature, and touch are integrated, or processed, humans would not be able to feel those sensations if the parietal lobe was damaged.
