parietal cortex
- Noun:
- A region of the cerebral cortex: The "parietal cortex" is the part of the cerebral cortex in each brain hemisphere that is situated beneath the crown of the head.
- A functional brain area: It is involved in processing sensory information, spatial awareness, navigation, and integrating information from different senses.
- Noun:
- Damage to the parietal cortex can result in difficulties with spatial reasoning.
- The study focused on neural activity in the parietal cortex during the navigation task.
- Sensory signals from touch are processed in the parietal cortex.
"Parietal cortex activation": Refers to the measurable neural activity in this brain region during specific cognitive or sensory tasks.
- The experiment showed significant parietal cortex activation during the mental rotation exercise.
"Posterior parietal cortex": A specific sub-region at the back of the parietal lobe, crucial for planning movements and spatial attention.
- The posterior parietal cortex is essential for coordinating eye movements and reaching.
Parietal lobe (n): The larger anatomical lobe of the brain that contains the parietal cortex.
- The parietal lobe is divided into several functional areas.
Somatosensory cortex (n): A major region within the parietal cortex specifically dedicated to processing touch sensations.
- The somatosensory cortex maps tactile information from the entire body.
- Parietal lobe: Often used interchangeably in general contexts, though "cortex" specifically refers to the outer layer of grey matter.
- Somatosensory cortex: A primary functional component of the parietal cortex.
Spatial neglect: A neurological condition often associated with damage to the right parietal cortex, where a patient fails to attend to one side of space.
- Spatial neglect is a common consequence of a stroke affecting the parietal cortex.
Sensory integration: A key function of the parietal cortex, combining information from vision, touch, and proprioception.
- The parietal cortex is a hub for multisensory integration.
-
that part of the cerebral cortex in either hemisphere of the brain lying below the crown of the head
