The lateral intraparietal area (LIP), a region of the brain known to play a vital role in spatial and visual processing also has a parallel function, categorizing visual information, a new study suggests.
Two new studies shed light on the processes that underlie the integration and storage of sensory information.
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.
Researchers report the posterior parietal cortex may be implicated in the movement of our hands.
Researchers discover a population of neurons in the PPC of rats which process information in a way that supports multiple behaviors at once.
Researchers uncover how the posterior parietal cortex encodes and organizes information about body movement.
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.
Study reveals how dopamine may have a central role in maintaining our consciousness.
Focused ultrasound allowed researchers to record and monitor brain activity in a non-invasive way. The technology allowed the researchers to predict movement.
The posterior parietal cortex, an area of the brain implicated in spatial awareness, plays a critical role in visual decision making.
A new study offers insight into how a well-connected core brain network in the lateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex, help coordinate the brain’s response to novel cognitive challenges.
A new neuroimaging study finds the brain's structure is related to how intensely people perceive pain.
