The parietal cortex is a critical interface for attention and integration of multiple sensory signals that can be used for the implementation of motor plans. Many neurons in this region exhibit strong attention-, reach-, grasp- or saccade-related activity. Here, we review human lesion studies supporting the critical…

Title: Highlights 1. • A new parietal multisensory area integrates lower body and lower visual field. 2. • Rearrangement of parietal areas in human and non-human primates is rationalized. 3. • In vivo myelin mapping outlines some parietal multisensory areas. 4. • Multisensory parietal areas transform visual maps into…

The parietal lobe, constituting approximately 20% of the human brain, comprises two main regions: the somatosensory cortex and the posterior parietal cortex. The former is responsible for receiving and processing information from the organism itself or its external environment, while the latter performs concurrent…

Traditional and new disciplines converge in suggesting that the parietal lobe underwent a considerable expansion during human evolution. Through the study of endocasts and shape analysis, paleoneurology has shown an increased globularity of the braincase and bulging of the parietal region in modern humans, as compared…

primates’ parietal lobe: A review História, citoarquitetura e neuropsicologia do lobo parietal de primatas humanos e não humanos – uma revisão Authors: ['Tales Alexandre Aversi-Ferreira' 'Mariana Ferreira Pereira de Araújo' 'Danielly Bandeira Lopes' 'Hisao Nishijo'] This strict localizationism had and still has its…

'Nicola Palomero-Gallagher'] Neurotransmitters and their receptors are key molecules in information transfer between neurons, thus enabling inter-areal communication. Therefore, multimodal atlases integrating the brain’s cyto- and receptor architecture constitute crucial tools to understand the relationship between its…

Recent discoveries have emphasized the role of the vestibular system in cognitive processes such as memory, spatial navigation and bodily self-consciousness. A precise understanding of the vestibular pathways involved is essential to understand the consequences of vestibular diseases for cognition, as well as develop…

This study aims to determine the prevalence, number, and localization of the parietal foramen in relation to the sagittal suture. Forty skulls (80 parietal bones), whose age and sex were unknown, from the Department of Anatomy, Faculty of Medicine, Cukurova University, were studied. Morphometric measurements were…

Goal-directed behavior often involves temporal separation and flexible context-dependent association between sensory input and motor output. The control of goal-directed behavior is proposed to lie in the frontoparietal network, but the computational architecture of this network remains elusive. Based on recent rodent…

'Edward Yeterian' 'Nikos Makris'] Comparative structural neuroanatomy is a cornerstone for understanding human brain structure and function. A parcellation framework that relates systematically to fundamental principles of histological organization is an essential step in generating structural comparisons between…

'Atif Ahmed' 'Jeffery R Blair' 'Eric J Basile' 'Salman Ahmad' 'Patricia E Roche'] Encephaloceles are the type of dysraphism in which a skull defect allows for herniation of meninges, with or without the inclusion of neural tissue, and are commonly associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum. Encephaloceles are…

'Emilio Artacho-Pérula'] The cortical mantle is not homogeneous, so that three types of cortex can be distinguished: allocortex, periallocortex and isocortex. The main distinction among those three types is based on morphological differences, in particular the number of layers, overall organization, appearance, etc.…

Many neuroscientific reports reference discrete macro-anatomical regions of the brain which were delineated according to a brain atlas or parcellation protocol. Currently, however, no widely accepted standards exist for partitioning the cortex and subcortical structures, or for assigning labels to the resulting…
