Reading Braille by Touch Recruits Posterior Parietal Cortex. [PDF]
Abstract Blind readers use a tactile reading system consisting of raised dot arrays: braille/⠃⠗⠇. How do human brains implement reading by touch? The current study looked for signatures of reading-specific orthographic processes in braille, separate from low-level somatosensory responses and semantic processes.

The Posterior Parietal Cortex in Adaptive Visual Processing [PDF]
Although the primate posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has been largely associated with space, attention, and action-related processing, a growing number of studies have reported the direct representation of a diverse array of action-independent nonspatial visual information in the PPC during both perception and visual working memory.

Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
How do we decide how to react to a stimulus or event? To do so requires recognition of the stimulus itself as well as an appreciation of the context within which that stimulus is encountered. In this issue of Neuron, Stoet and Snyder report that neurons in the parietal cortex of monkeys can carry contextual information related to the rules that are ...

Parietal conditioning enhances motor surround inhibition
Background: Motor surround inhibition (mSI) is a phenomenon supportive for executing selective finger movements, wherein synergist muscles are selectively facilitated while surround muscles are inhibited.

Time course of functional connectivity in primate dorsolateral prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex during working memory. [PDF]
The dorsolateral prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex play critical roles in mediating attention, working memory, and executive function. Despite proposed dynamic modulation of connectivity strength within each area according to task demands, scant ...

Background: The function of the primate’s posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in sensorimotor transformations is well-established, though in humans its complexity is still challenging.

Decoding Trajectories from Posterior Parietal Cortex Ensembles [PDF]
High-level cognitive signals in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) have previously been used to decode the intended endpoint of a reach, providing the first evidence that PPC can be used for direct control of a neural prosthesis (Musallam et al., 2004).

Human Posterior Parietal Cortex Plans Where to Reach and What to Avoid [PDF]
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.
