The posterior parietal cortex (the portion of parietal neocortex posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex) plays an important role in planned movements, spatial reasoning, and attention.

The posterior parietal cortex comprises the region of the parietal cortex that is posterior to the primary somatosensory cortex and its adjacent sulcus, the postcentral sulcus. The posterior parietal cortex itself is divided into an upper and lower portion: the superior parietal lobule and inferior parietal lobule, respectively.

2017年7月24日 · The posterior parietal cortex, along with temporal and prefrontal cortices, is one of the three major associative regions in the cortex of the mammalian brain. It is situated between the visual cortex at the caudal pole of the brain and …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is positioned rostral to primary and secondary visual cortex and caudal to somatosensory cortex (Hyvarinen, 1982; Reep et al., 1994; Whitlock, 2014) sharing anatomical and functional homology across rodents and primates to human (Toga and Collins, 1981; Miller and Vogt, 1984; Kolb and Walkey, 1987; Olsen and ...

Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) receives information from somatosensory, auditory and visual processing areas (Reep et al., 1994; Reep and Corwin, 2009) and has been implicated in crossmodal transfer of learning in monkeys (Wilson and Wilson, 1962; Wilson, 1964), auditory-place and visual-place object conditional learning in rats (Tees, 1999 ...

2019年3月1日 · Many of these studies focus on the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), an area that has been implicated in sensory and multisensory processing, navigation, motion planning, and decision-making. In this review we summarize recent …

2017年7月24日 · The posterior parietal cortex, along with temporal and prefrontal cortices, is one of the three major associative regions in the cortex of the mammalian brain. It is situated between the visual cortex at the caudal pole of the brain and …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is traditionally associated with attention, perceptual decision making and sensorimotor transformations, but more recent human neuroimaging studies support an additional role in episodic memory retrieval.

2009年9月28日 · The primate posterior parietal cortex (PPC) processes information related to environmental physical space. The human PPC has apparently expanded not only in size but also in its functional range to encompass certain abstract and higher-order conceptual spaces.

2019年7月12日 · Posterior parietal cortex (PPC) activity correlates with monkeys’ decisions during visual discrimination and categorization tasks. However, recent work has questioned whether decision-correlated PPC activity plays a causal role in such decisions.
