Parietal Lobe

The parietal lobe is largely responsible for construction ability and language. Injury
to the front parts of this lobe may cause someone to lose sensation on parts of the body.
With an injury in this area, one may become disoriented. Recall of long term memories may
be mixed up in time or sequencing. They may become easily lost or confuse left and right.
They may have difficulty recognizing or naming what they see. Injury may also produce
disorders in the ability to read, write or perform math calculations. This area also
includes conscious sensation and voluntary motion.
