Parietal Lobe Function Parietal Lobe Damage Lesson SummaryWhat is the Parietal Lobe? The parietal lobe is one of the four primary lobes of the brain, and it functions to process and interpret sensory information, particularly sensory information of the skin. The brain is divided into two halves,...
The cerebral cortex is the thin layer of tissue that covers thecerebrum. The cerebrum is the largest component of the brain and is divided into two hemispheres with each hemisphere being divided into four lobes. Each brain lobe has a specific function. Functions of thecerebral cortex lobesinvolve...
Parietal lobe epilepsy is a very rare type of epilepsy. In this lesson, we will learn about the many unusual symptoms as well as the treatment for this type of epilepsy. Function of the Parietal Lobe of the Brain The brain is an amazing organ! It controls every single function of our ...

Recent research has demonstrated both that many neurons in the parietal lobe (plus elsewhere in the network for spatial representation and attention) are involved in multisensory integration, and that unilateral neglect can be a multimodal deficit. For instance, visuo-auditory cells have been reported...
Background: We previously demonstrated relatively intact cognitive function (with the exception of suggestive evidence for persistent deficits in spatial information processing) in middle-aged long-term abstinent alcoholics (LTAA, abstinent for 6 months or more) compared to age and gender comparab...
Secretory function: The stomach adds hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes, and specific binding proteins (e.g., intrinsic factor for the binding of vitamin B12) to ingested food (Table 3.2). About 1000–3000 ml is secreted per day, containing about 0.1 mol/l hydrochloric acid (pH 1–1.5)....

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) has an important role in many cognitive behaviours; however, the neural circuit dynamics underlying PPC function are not well understood. Here we optically imaged the spatial and temporal activity patterns of neuronal
