The exact role of posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in visually directed reaching is unknown. We propose that, by building an internal representation of instantaneous hand location, PPC computes a ...

A neuroimaging study of action video game players revealed that these individuals tend to have enhanced functional and ...

Sleep deficiency is associated with atrophy of the inferior parietal region of the brain, according to a study published online.

the parietal lobe, and the occipital lobe—with one of each on either half of the brain. The cerebral cortex is the thin, outermost layer of the cerebrum, extending across all the brain’s lobes.

Factoring out influences on neural firing from muscle movement and sensory input, the researchers identified regions in the medial temporal lobe (involved in memory), the parietal cortex (involved ...

In the primate, this simple suggestion has now been expanded into two streams of visual processing that extend from striate cortex through visual areas in the temporal and parietal lobes on into ...
