The posterior parietal cortex, an area of the brain implicated in spatial awareness, plays a critical role in visual decision making. Read More
A new microscopy technique integrates existing and novel approaches to build a clearer picture of the workings of neurons in the brain. The technique captures cellular activity across large tissue volumes in greater detail than previous techniques have allowed for. Read More
Researchers provide evidence that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in converting vision into action. Read More
Two new studies shed light on the processes that underlie the integration and storage of sensory information. Read More
Coupling a non invasive brain computer interface with a virtual walking avatar may help those with gait disorders to regain control of their movements, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers uncover how the posterior parietal cortex encodes and organizes information about body movement. Read More
A new study published in Nature sheds light on how populations of neurons work together during working memory and decision making tasks. Researchers report individual neurons are briefly active, but populations of neurons working together carry information for longer periods of time by being active at different times. Read More
Researchers report the posterior parietal cortex may be implicated in the movement of our hands. Read More
A new study links risk aversion to changes in gray matter volume in the right posterior parietal cortex. Read More
Researchers have discovered the area in the brain where stiffness perception is formed. Read More
A new study sheds light on the internal workings of brain regions involved in recognizing and remembering objects. Read More
Researchers report neurons in the PPC encode entire hand shapes. The findings are helping with the development of neuroprosthetic devices. Read More
