The posterior parietal cortex, an area of the brain implicated in spatial awareness, plays a critical role in visual decision making.
Those who are more mindful are less caught up in the experience of pain, and report feeling less pain than those who are less mindful, a new study reports. Researchers say higher disposition mindfulness during painful heat is associated with greater deactivation of the posterior cingulate cortex.
Researchers provide evidence that the posterior parietal cortex plays a vital role in converting vision into action.
Two new studies shed light on the processes that underlie the integration and storage of sensory information.
Researchers uncover how the posterior parietal cortex encodes and organizes information about body movement.
Researchers report the posterior parietal cortex may be implicated in the movement of our hands.
Researchers have discovered the area in the brain where stiffness perception is formed.
Researchers have analyzed the brain activity of mice approaching a target under interrupted sensory inputs.
A new study sheds light on the internal workings of brain regions involved in recognizing and remembering objects.
Researchers report neurons in the PPC encode entire hand shapes. The findings are helping with the development of neuroprosthetic devices.
Implanting neuroprosthetics into the posterior parietal cortex allows a paralyzed man to control a robotic arm through thought, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified a new neural pathway by which several brain areas communicate within the striatum.
