Intentional maps in posterior parietal cortex. [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 2002 The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), historically believed to be a sensory structure, is now viewed as an area important for sensory-motor integration.

Posterior Parietal Cortex Guides Visual Decisions in Rats [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2016 Neurons in putative decision-making structures can reflect both sensory and decision signals, making their causal role in decisions unclear. Here, we tested whether rat posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is causal for processing visual sensory signals or ...

Posterior parietal cortex and the filtering of distractors [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 Neural systems for visual processing can focus attention on behaviorally relevant objects, filtering out competing distractors. Neurophysiological studies in animals and brain imaging studies in humans suggest that such filtering depends on top-down inputs to extrastriate visual areas, originating in structures important for attentional control.

Role of the Posterior Parietal Cortex in Spatial Hearing [PDF]
The Journal of Neuroscience, 2002 The human posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is well known to be involved in various functions of multisensory spatial perception. However, the specific role of the PPC in hearing has, up to now, remained unclear. To allow more reliable conclusions to be drawn on this issue, we have used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in healthy subjects ...

Representation of Numerosity in Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2012 Humans and animals appear to share a similar representation of number as an analog magnitude on an internal, subjective scale. Neurological and neurophysiological data suggest that posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is a critical component of the circuits ...

The role of prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex in task switching [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2000 Human ability to switch from one cognitive task to another involves both endogenous preparation without an external stimulus and exogenous adjustment in response to the external stimulus. In an event-related functional MRI study, participants performed pairs of two tasks that are either the same (task repetition) or different (task switch) from ...

Tracking Route Progression in the Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
Neuron, 2006 Quick and efficient traversal of learned routes is critical to the survival of many animals. Routes can be defined by both the ordering of navigational epochs, such as continued forward motion or execution of a turn, and the distances separating them.

Visual And Eye Movement Functions Of The Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
Annual Review of Neuroscience, 1989 Lesions of the posterior parietal area in humans produce interesting spatial-perceptual and spatial-behavioral deficits. Among the more important deficits observed are loss of spatial memories, problems representing spatial relations in models or drawings, disturbances in the spatial distribution of attention, and the inability to localize visual ...

Posterior parietal cortex and developmental dyslexia
Acta Neurobiologiae Experimentalis, 2005 Dyslexia is defined as a specific reading disorder despite normal intelligence and conventional teaching. One of the most influential theories attempting to explain problems suffered by dyslexics assumes that dyslexia is caused by deficits of the magnocellular system.

Human Posterior Parietal Cortex Plans Where to Reach and What to Avoid [PDF]
, 2010 In this time-resolved functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study, we aimed to trace the neuronal correlates of covert planning processes that precede visually guided motor behavior.
