Samantha's Journey to Learning Braille

The Importance of Parietal Lobes in Braille Reading

Samantha recently became blind and is learning to use her fingers to read in braille. The part of her brain that will be activated by touching the bumps on the page as she reads the braille is the ________ lobes.

Answer: parietal

Explanation: Parietal lobe: The term parietal lobe is defined as a part of the cerebral cortex that lies between the frontal and occipital lobe and above temporal lobe of an individual's brain. The parietal lobe of an individual's brain is responsible for sensory integration and perception and encompasses the management of sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing. It is considered as a home for the primary sensory area of the brain (the area where the brain interprets various inputs from different areas of an individual's body). In the question above, Samantha's parietal lobe will be activated.

Samantha's journey to learn braille is inspiring. What are some other ways people can adapt and learn new skills when faced with challenges like blindness?
