The Definition

Parietal Lobe-a portion of the cerebral cortex at the top of the head and toward the rear; receives sensory input for touch and body position.

Page 3: The Parietal Lobe By: Kindrea Wilson and Stanley Duncan.

Major Function of the Parietal Lobe

Sensing pain, pressure, and touch

Regulating and processing the body's five senses

Movement and visual orientation

Speech Visual perception

and recognition Cognition and

information

The Behaviors the Parietal Lobe Controls

The Parietal lobe can control any behavior.

The type of behavior that it controls is based off of the environment and other factors.

The Process of the Parietal Lobe

All four lobes work together to send sensory information to each other.

Each lobes deals with different sensory information and they send the information to the rest of the lobes.

What parts of the brain does the Parietal lobe work with?

Frontal lobe

Temporal lobe

Occipital lobe

The discovery of the Parietal Lobe

Franciscus Sylvius (1614-1672)

Physician, physiologist, anatomist, and chemist

Professor at the University of Leidon (1641)

Was in the chemistry lab at the University when discovering the deep cleft (Sylvian Fissure).

Continued...

The deep cleft is what separates all of the lobes.

This is how the four lobes became separate.

Injury to the Parietal Lobe can cause...

Problems with: Speech Writing Understanding

symbols and language

Can not locate parts of your body.

Can not recognize parts of your body.

Recent Research

Researchers have found evidence linking the Parietal lobe to memory.

Different types of memory:

Visual short term memory

Working Memory Episodic Memory
