Encoding of Intention and Spatial Location in the Posterior Parietal Cortex [PDF]
The posterior parietal cortex is functionally situated between sensory cortex and motor cortex. The responses of cells in this area are difficult to classify as strictly sensory or motor, since many have both sensory- and movement-related activities, as ...

Linking pain and the body: neural correlates of visually induced analgesia [PDF]
The visual context of seeing the body can reduce the experience of acute pain, producing a multisensory analgesia. Here we investigated the neural correlates of this “visually induced analgesia” using fMRI.

A Case Report of Early-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Using 18F-FDG PET and 18F-FBB PET
We describe a 40-year-old female patient who presented with sleep disturbance, intermittent headache, and gradual subjective cognitive decline. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) showed mild FDG hypometabolism in bilateral ...

Mesoscale functional architecture in medial posterior parietal cortex
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in mice has various functions including multisensory integration, vision-guided behaviors, working memory, and posture control. However, an integrated understanding of these functions and their cortical localizations in and around the PPC and higher visual areas (HVAs), has not been completely elucidated.

Why I tense up when you watch me: inferior parietal cortex mediates an audience’s influence on motor performance [PDF]
The presence of an evaluative audience can alter skilled motor performance through changes in force output. To investigate how this is mediated within the brain, we emulated real-time social monitoring of participants’ performance of a fine grip task ...

Parahippocampal and retrosplenial connections of rat posterior parietal cortex [PDF]
ABSTRACTThe posterior parietal cortex has been implicated in spatial functions, including navigation. The hippocampal and parahippocampal region and the retrosplenial cortex are crucially involved in navigational processes and connections between the parahippocampal/retrosplenial domain and the posterior parietal cortex have been described. However, an

Visual and eye movement functions of the posterior parietal cortex [PDF]
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 ...

Neuropsychology of the parietal lobe: Luria’s and contemporary conceptions
The parietal lobe, constituting approximately 20% of the human brain, comprises two main regions: the somatosensory cortex and the posterior parietal cortex.
