Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parietal lobe is responsible for processing sensory information, including touch and temperature sensation. Damage to this area can lead to a loss of sensation, such as the ability to feel hot temperatures. Damage to the prefrontal cortex or frontal lobe may affect decision-making, planning, and other higher cognitive functions, but not necessarily physical sensation. Damage to the temporal lobe may affect memory and auditory processing, but not necessarily sensation.
