Researchers report neurons in the PPC encode entire hand shapes. The findings are helping with the development of neuroprosthetic devices. Read More
Implanting neuroprosthetics into the posterior parietal cortex allows a paralyzed man to control a robotic arm through thought, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers discover a population of neurons in the PPC of rats which process information in a way that supports multiple behaviors at once. Read More
A new neuroimaging study finds the brain's structure is related to how intensely people perceive pain. Read More
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. Read More
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. Read More
