Human parietal cortex in action
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2006Experiments using functional neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation in humans have revealed regions of the parietal lobes that are specialized for particular visuomotor actions, such as reaching, grasping and eye movements. In addition, the human parietal cortex is recruited by processing and perception of action-related information, even ...

Oculocentric Spatial Representation in Parietal Cortex
Cerebral Cortex, 1995Parietal cortex comprises several distinct areas. Neurons in each area are selective for particular stimulus dimensions and particular regions of space. The representation of space in a given area reflects a particular motor output by which a stimulus can be acquired. Neurons in the lateral intraparietal area (LIP) are active in relation to both visual

Reaching for the parietal cortex
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 1998During reaching movements, sensory signals must be transformed into an appropriate set of motor commands. For visually guided movements, this will involve transforming visual information signalling the spatial position of the target, into a motor plan specifying the sequence of postural changes required to bring the hand to the target.

Parietal cortex and spatial cognition
Behavioural Brain Research, 2009The parietal cortex consists of several prominent anatomical regions in the posterior part of the human brain. Although very heterogeneous stimuli and tasks activate parietal brain regions, a large body of empirical evidence points to a particular role of the posterior parietal cortex in spatial cognition.

Material properties of porcine parietal cortex
Journal of Biomechanics, 2006Computational models of the head can be used to simulate events associated with traumatic brain injury and to design protective equipment and environments. Accurate material property descriptions of biological tissues are crucial to the development of computational models that mimic human responses.

Parietal cortex: from sight to action
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 1997Recent findings have altered radically our thinking about the functional role of the parietal cortex. According to this view, the parietal lobe consists of a multiplicity of areas with specific connections to the frontal lobe. These areas, together with the frontal areas to which they are connected, mediate distinct sensorimotor transformations related

Thalamic Projections to Parietal Cortex
Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 1977Thalamic projections to parietal regions of cerebral cortex were investigated in the cat by retrograde degeneration and retrograde transport techniques. Studies of retrograde cellular changes indicate cortically projecting cells in the lateroporterior nucleus (LP), rostral pulvinar (Pul), and the ventral part of the laterodorsal nucleus (LD).

SPACE AND ATTENTION IN PARIETAL CORTEX
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1999▪ Abstract  The space around us is represented not once but many times in parietal cortex. These multiple representations encode locations and objects of interest in several egocentric reference frames. Stimulus representations are transformed from the coordinates of receptor surfaces, such as the retina or the cochlea, into the coordinates of ...

1989
The parietal association cortex occupies a large region of the parietal lobe posterior to the primary somatosensory area in humans and other primates. It includes an area devoted to the integration of neural information derived from the various submodalities of the somatosensory system and a second, larger area which is involved in a multitude of ...
