The parietal lobe, located near the back and top of the head, is part of the cerebral cortex. It is involved in the reception and processing of sensory information from the body. It controls goal ...

Understanding and reasoning about the physical world rely on a specific brain network, in which the area PF of the left inferior parietal lobe plays a central role.

The scans showed 'acute infarcts in both the parietal lobes' of her brain - also known as strokes in the part of the brain located behind the frontal lobe. A parietal lobe stroke is caused by an ...

Specifically, the precuneus in the parietal lobe, one area where artists had more gray matter, “is involved in a range of functions but potentially in things that could be linked to creativity, like ...

A neuroimaging study of action video game players revealed that these individuals tend to have enhanced functional and ...

Shorter slow wave sleep and rapid eye movement sleep were associated with decreased volume in Alzheimer disease-vulnerable brain regions.

The exact role of posterior parietal cortex (PPC) in visually directed reaching is unknown. We propose that, by building an internal representation of instantaneous hand location, PPC computes a ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).
