The parietal lobes are important parts of the brain. They make up about 18% of the brain's size. These lobes help us combine information from our senses. Here are some of the main things they do:

1. Sensory Processing:

   • They help us understand touch, sight, and sounds.
   • They play a big part in how we know where we are and how to move around.

2. Somatosensory Cortex:

   • This area is found in the back part of the parietal lobe and gets signals from all parts of our body.
   • It has a special map that shows where our senses are stronger.

3. Multimodal Integration:

   • The parietal lobes connect with more than half of the brain's other areas.
   • This helps us understand and feel the world around us better.
