Researchers at Leipzig University's Carl Ludwig Institute have discovered that in the cerebral cortex, synaptic signal ...

Reviewer #2 (Public review): Summary: The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has been identified as an integrator of multiple sensory streams and guides decision-making. Hira et al observe that ...

The study highlights the existence of a functional hierarchy in the human cerebral cortex, where posterior areas—those that first receive visual information— process space and time together. In ...

Key Facts: The study revealed that rats can develop an understanding of numbers through training, despite the influence of other continuous magnitudes. Specific brain regions, particularly the ...

Left: a mouse’s view as it runs a T-shaped maze in virtual reality and decides which way to turn. Right: structural data show randomly color-coded neurons in the posterior parietal cortex blinking as ...

To interrogate the cell types in the posterior parietal cortex, Green and Harvey turned to colleague and study co-author Michael Greenberg, the HMS Nathan Marsh Pusey Professor of Neurobiology.

Near the end, the mouse corrects a navigational error, prompting a burst of activity in a subtype of neurons in the posterior parietal cortex that is captured by the peak on the graph. Video: Harvey ...

Temporal attention is the concentration of perceptual resources at a specific point in time, which can help individuals get prepared to improve their behavioral performance, whereas the neural ...

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 ...

Title: Bio-inspired spike-based Hippocampus and Posterior Parietal Cortex robotic system for environment pseudo-mapping and navigation Abstract: The brain has a great capacity for computation, ...

Although there is ample evidence that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) plays a key role in linking sensation and action, its exact role in sensorimotor control has been long debated. An intense, ...
