The small grooves on the surface of our brain may play a key role in our reasoning. A recent study reveals that their depth influences connectivity between areas essential for cognition.

For the new study, the researchers tested whether a specific region of the posterior parietal cortex called the lateral intraparietal area was directly involved in guiding these decisions. They gave ...

The parietal lobe contains an area known as the primary sensory area. This is where impulses from the skin, such as warmth, cold, pain, and touch, are interpreted.

In a study published in Cell on July 10, researchers reported the first comprehensive study of whole-brain projectomes of the ...

New research by neuroscientists at the University of Chicago shows that the posterior parietal cortex (PPC), an area of the brain often associated with planning movements and spatial awareness ...

They further pointed out that neurobiological research has highlighted involvement of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the posterior parietal cortex, and the hippocampus in mathematical learning.

This parallels the human data, since these regions are homologous to the parahippocampal gyrus and precuneus. The results suggest that disease spreads from the LEC to connected brain areas. “We saw a ...

Activity in the parietal cortex, an area of the brain involved in awareness of self and others as well as attention processing, seems to be a common element among individuals who have experienced a ...
