Parietal Association Cortex

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 ...

Neuroanatomy of the Parietal Cortex

2007
In this chapter the basic principles of parietal cortex anatomy will be described. In this context it is emphasized that there is lack of knowledge about the human parietal cortex in terms of neuroanatomical subregions compared to what is known from the monkey brain.

Social cognition in premotor and parietal cortex

Social Neuroscience, 2008
Socially correct behavior requires constant observation of the social environment. Behavior that was appropriate a few seconds ago is not guaranteed to be appropriate now. The brain keeps the eyes focused on the current social space and constantly updates its internal representation of the environment and social context.

Spatial representations for action in parietal cortex

Cognitive Brain Research, 1996
Parietal cortex contains multiple representations of visual space. Single neurons in area LIP encode attended locations relative to the fovea, while some VIP neurons encode stimulus location relative to the head and some MIP neurons may encode location relative to the arm.

Focusing attention in the parietal cortex

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2000
Directing attention to the spatial location of a visual target involves the parietal cortex. Such attentional orienting may be voluntarily guided by the predictability of the stimulus location; alternatively, it may be based on a target-detection process that does not involve voluntary orienting, but rather is the redirection of processing power to a ...

Human Paleoneurology and the Evolution of the Parietal Cortex

Brain, Behavior and Evolution, 2018
Paleoneurology deals with the study of brain anatomy in fossil species, as inferred from the morphology of their endocranial features. When compared with other living and extinct hominids, <i>Homo sapiens</i> is characterized by larger parietal bones and, according to the paleoneurological evidence, also by larger parietal lobes. The dorsal

Space and Salience in Parietal Cortex

1999
The parietal cortex has long been thought to participate in the neural mechanisms underlying visual attention, spatial perception, and eye movements (Critchley 1953). This review will begin by describing the attentional and spatial aspects of saccadic performance in a patient with a frontoparietal deficit, and then show how single neuron activity in ...

Neural Prosthetics and Parietal Cortex

2015
In the last decade, research efforts into directly interfacing with the neurons of individuals with motor deficits have increased. The goal of such research is clear: Enable individuals affected by paralysis or amputation to regain control of their environments by manipulating external devices with thought alone. Though the motor cortices are the usual

Functional Role of Parietal Cortex

1982
In this concluding chapter I shall attempt to draw some conclusions as to the functional role of the parietal cortex. It has been established that the anterior part of the parietal lobe, the postcentral gyrus, is involved in somaesthesis and somatic guidance of movement.
