A brain region at the top-back of the head that processes sensory information about touch, spatial awareness, and body position.
From Latin 'parietalis' meaning 'of walls,' from 'paries' (wall). Named for its position against the skull wall.
The parietal lobe is your brain's GPS and touch processor — it knows where your body is in space and makes sense of what you feel.
