Visual Categorization and the Parietal Cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012 The primate brain is adept at rapidly grouping items and events into functional classes, or categories, in order to recognize the significance of stimuli and guide behavior.

The parietal cortex has a causal role in ambiguity computations in humans. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyHumans often face the challenge of making decisions between ambiguous options. The level of ambiguity in decision-making has been linked to activity in the parietal cortex, but its exact computational role remains elusive. To test the hypothesis that the

Transcranial direct current stimulation over the right parietal cortex improves the depressive disorder: A preliminary study [PDF]
Brain and BehaviorObjective The right posterior parietal cortex is the core brain region of emotional processing and executive control network in the human brain, and the function of the right posterior parietal cortex is decreased in patients with major depressive ...

Human locomotion-control brain networks detected with independent component analysis [PDF]
Journal of Integrative Neuroscience, 2021 Walking is a fundamental movement skill in humans. However, how the brain controls walking is not fully understood. In this functional magnetic resonance imaging study, the rhythmic, bilaterally alternating ankle movements were used as paradigm to ...

Does shape discrimination by the mouth activate the parietal and occipital lobes? - near-infrared spectroscopy study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 A cross-modal association between somatosensory tactile sensation and parietal and occipital activities during Braille reading was initially discovered in tests with blind subjects, with sighted and blindfolded healthy subjects used as controls. However,

Mismatch negativity in recent-onset and chronic schizophrenia: a current source density analysis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a component of the event-related potential elicited by deviant auditory stimuli. It is presumed to index pre-attentive monitoring of changes in the auditory environment.

Cognitive Functions of the Posterior Parietal Cortex: Top-down and bottom-up attentional control
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012 Although much less is known about human parietal cortex than that of homologous monkey cortex, recent studies, employing neuroimaging and neuropsychological methods, have begun to elucidate increasingly fine-grained functional and structural distinctions.
