Centre for heat, touch, cold and pressure are in

The correct answer is Parietal lobe.

• There are four lobes in the human brain.
  • Frontal lobe.
  • Parietal lobe.
  • Occipital lobe.
  • Temporal lobe.

Important Points

• Parietal lobe:
  • Located behind the frontal lobe.
  • Receive and transmit sensory information from the body and skin. Also connected other parts of the brain.
  • Deals with many sensations including touch, pressure, pain, heat, cold, etc.
• Frontal lobe:
  • It is the largest part of four major lobes, located at the front of each hemisphere (brain’s cerebral cortex) and covered by the frontal cortex.
  • The frontal lobe is separated from the parietal lobe by the central sulcus.
  • The major role of the frontal lobe is decision making including self-management, Speech, and language, Comparing objects, memories, understanding, and reacting to feelings, behaviour, attention, etc.
• Occipital lobe:
  • It is the smallest of the lobes, located at the back portion of the brain and below the occipital bone.
  • The primary visual cortex, which is located in the occipital lobe, receives and interprets information from the retinas of the eyes.
  • The occipital lobe deals with aspects of vision, including face recognition, movement, object recognition, colour determination, distance, depth perception.
• Temporal lobe:
  • Located in the bottom section of the brain and sitting close to the ear level within the skull.
  • The major functions are hearing, language recognization, speaking and understanding writing, memory acquisition, visual perception, etc.
