The parietal lobe is a crucial part of the brain that plays a vital role in processing sensory information like touch, pain and temperature, among others. There are a few other terms synonymous with the parietal lobe, including the dorsal lobe, topmost lobe, and contralateral lobe. The name dorsal lobe comes from its location, which is at the top of the brain. The term topmost lobe refers to its position at the upper part of the cerebral cortex of the brain, while the contralateral lobe is so-called because of its crosswise, or opposite, arrangement to the other cerebral hemisphere. The parietal lobe is responsible for many essential functions involving the senses, such as spatial awareness, perception of movement, and coordination of the body.
