Functional neuroimaging has proven highly valuable in mapping human sensory regions,
particularly visual areas in occipital cortex. Recent evidence suggests that human parietal …

How is higher cognitive function organized in the human parietal cortex? A century of
neuropsychology and 30 years of functional neuroimaging has implicated the parietal lobe …

Despite the prominence of parietal activity in human neuroimaging investigations of
sensorimotor and cognitive processes, there remains uncertainty about basic aspects of …

In monkeys, the somatosensory cortex on the parietal operculum can be differentiated into
several distinct cortical fields. Potential human homologues for these areas have already …

The parietal cortex consists of several prominent anatomical regions in the posterior part of
the human brain. Although very heterogeneous stimuli and tasks activate parietal brain …

According to recent models of visuo-spatial processing, the medial parieto-occipital cortex is
a crucial node of the dorsal visual stream. Evidence from neurophysiological studies in …

Experiments using functional neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation in
humans have revealed regions of the parietal lobes that are specialized for particular …

Neuropsychological studies of patients with lesions of right frontal (premotor) or posterior
parietal cortex often show severe impairments of attentive sensorimotor behavior. Such …

Multiple visual areas in the cortex of nonhuman primates are organized into two
hierarchically organized and functionally specialized processing pathways, a 'ventral …

Human parietal cortex is implicated in a wide variety of sensory and cognitive functions, yet
its precise organization remains unclear. Visual field maps provide a potential structural …
