Open in App
Solution

Somaesthetic means sensory perception. The parietal lobe of the cerebrum deals with such responses like touch, hot, cold and pain, It is the area that helps in following the directions on a map, reading a clock and dressing oneself. These sensory messages are organised and then directed to the frontal lobe for the appropriate muscle action.
