Posterior parietal cortex is critical for spatial processing. Calton et al. show that this area also represents the intention to make a certain type of movement, independent of its spatial target.

The somatosensory cortex in the front part of the parietal lobe resides in two areas: the postcentral gyrus and the posterior paracentral lobule. It helps process and interpret touch sensations ...

Neuroscientists show that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), an area of the brain often associated with planning movements and spatial awareness, also plays a crucial role in making decisions ...

Not only the somatosensory cortex is involved in the perception of touch The researchers were able to show that not only the somatosensory cortex is involved in the perception of touch, but also parts ...

The role of posterior parietal cortex in beat-based timing perception: a continuous theta burst stimulation study. Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience . Published online January 18, 2018. doi: 10. ...

The somatosensory cortex was suppressed in 52 milliseconds (about one twentieth of a second) after contact on both the rod and the arm. At 80 milliseconds, that activity suppression spread ...

What happens in our brains when reaching for that hot latte or cold milkshake? Researchers from the Max Delbrück Center have discovered a brain region responsible for perceptions of hot and cold when ...

Yogis had larger brain volume in the somatosensory cortex, which contains a mental map of our body, the superior parietal cortex, involved in directing attention, and the visual cortex, which ...
