In the depth of the parietal lobe of both hemispheres are found fibers of optical radiation. Disorders of the parietal lobe function can result from trauma, tumors, infection, vascular events, etc. Damage caused by trauma or by another etiological factor can impair the function of the frontal l...
Function:Processes sensory information that had to do with taste, temperature, and touch, as well as hearing and visual perception. While all parts of the brain are important, the parietal lobe is one of the major lobes of the human brain that processes sensory information from the world aroun...
The flocculonodular lobe is underneath these two lobes and is essential in maintaining balance (Patestas and Gartner, 2016; Guyton and Hall, 2011). Although the cerebellum is argued to be involved in some cognitive control, its main function is in motor control, maintenance of posture and ...

The parietal lobe is a lobe in the brain. It is positioned above (superior to) the occipital lobe and behind (posterior to) the frontal lobe. The parietal lobe integrates sensory information from different modalities, particularly determining spatial sense and navigation. For example, it comprises...
The parietal lobe in the monkey Anatomic subdivisions The lateral surface of the parietal lobe of monkeys is anatomically formed by three main sectors: the postcentral gyrus, the superior parietal lobule (SPL), and theinferior parietal lobule(IPL), that are referred to collectively as the posterior...
A discriminant function analysis demonstrated that the degree of atrophy of right posterior cingulate, left parietal lobe, right amygdala, and right anterior temporal lobe structures correctly classified 96% of the patients. Conclusion Alzheimer disease is associated with a specific pattern of cortical ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that impairs not only motor function but also significantly affects cognitive processes, especially during tasks requiring simultaneous execution of motor and cognitive functions, known as dual-tasking1. Dual-tasking often exacerbates the difficulties...
(Luria and Pribram, 1973; Stuss and Frank Benson, 1987). Frontal lobe-damaged patients appear to lose important aspects of autonomous cognitive control as evidenced by the loss of behavioral control to environmental contingencies (e.g., capture errors and utilizationbehaviors;Lhermitte, 1986). ...
