Intentional Maps in Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2002 ▪ Abstract The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), historically believed to be a sensory structure, is now viewed as an area important for sensory-motor integration. Among its functions is the forming of intentions, that is, high-level cognitive plans for movement.

Apraxia, pantomime and the parietal cortex
NeuroImage: Clinical, 2014 Apraxia, a disorder of higher motor cognition, is a frequent and outcome-relevant sequel of left hemispheric stroke. Deficient pantomiming of object use constitutes a key symptom of apraxia and is assessed when testing for apraxia.

Temporal production signals in parietal cortex.
PLoS Biology, 2012 We often perform movements and actions on the basis of internal motivations and without any explicit instructions or cues. One common example of such behaviors is our ability to initiate movements solely on the basis of an internally generated sense of ...

The parietal association cortex of the rat [PDF]
Biological Research, 2008 Spatial cognition is a complex higher function in mammals and is involved in a variety of tasks that can be explored in the laboratory. In this review we will discuss the role of the posterior parietal/anteromedial cortex of rodents, also known as the ...

Parietal cortex and attention [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2004 The parietal lobe forms about 20% of the human cerebral cortex and is divided into two major regions, the somatosensory cortex and the posterior parietal cortex. Posterior parietal cortex, located at the junction of multiple sensory regions, projects to several cortical and subcortical areas and is engaged in a host of cognitive operations.

Multisensory maps in parietal cortex [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2014 Parietal cortex has long been known to be a site of sensorimotor integration. Recent findings in humans have shown that it is divided up into a number of small areas somewhat specialized for eye movements, reaching, and hand movements, but also face-related movements (avoidance, eating), lower body movements, and movements coordinating multiple body ...

Task specificity in mouse parietal cortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2020 SummaryParietal cortex is implicated in a variety of behavioral processes, but it is unknown whether and how individual neurons participate in multiple tasks. We trained head-fixed mice to perform two visual decision tasks involving a steering wheel or a virtual T-maze, and recorded from the same parietal neurons during the two.

Social Distance Evaluation in Human Parietal Cortex [PDF]
, 2009 Across cultures, social relationships are often thought of, described, and acted out in terms of physical space (e.g. “close friends” “high lord”). Does this cognitive mapping of social concepts arise from shared brain resources for processing social and

A population representation of the confidence in a decision in the parietal cortex. [PDF]
Cell RepConfidence in a decision is the belief, prior to feedback, that one's choice is correct. In the brain, many decisions are implemented as a race between competing evidence-accumulation processes. We ask whether the neurons that represent evidence accumulation also carry information about whether the choice is correct (i.e., confidence).

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2007 Current views of the parietal cortex have difficulty accommodating the human inferior parietal lobe (IPL) within a simple dorsal versus ventral stream dichotomy. In humans, lesions of the right IPL often lead to syndromes such as hemispatial neglect that are seemingly in accord with the proposal that this region has a crucial role in spatial processing.
