The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is traditionally associated with attention, perceptual decision making and sensorimotor transformations, but more recent human neuroimaging studies support an ...

A landing page should connect directly with the user’s mind. But how does this really work? In order to create a mentally engaging experience for the user, how should a landing page look, work, feel, ...

The parietal lobe, located near the back and top of the head, is part of the cerebral cortex. It is involved in the reception and processing of sensory information from the body. It controls goal ...

Language, empathy, attention - as different as these abilities may be, one brain region is involved in all these processes: The inferior parietal lobe (IPL). Yet until now it was unclear exactly what ...

The human brain, as the seat of mental life—from the most complicated intellectual processes down to routine and unconscious bodily control—is necessarily enormously complex. The largest part of the ...

The neocortex comprises the largest part of the cerebral cortex and is the outermost layer that covers the structures of the brain. Comprised of four main lobes with specific functions, the cortex ...

Applying a tiny electrical current to the brain could make you better at learning maths, according to Oxford University scientists. They found that targeting a part of the brain called the parietal ...

I must now return to that critical question – what do we learn about OBEs by discovering a specific brain area that can induce them? Is the TPJ (the temporo-parietal junction) the mystical opening to ...

Men consistently outperform women on spatial tasks, including mental rotation, which is the ability to identify how a 3-D object would appear if rotated in space. A new study shows a connection ...
