Parietal lobe contribution to mental rotation demonstrated with rTMS.
A large number of imaging studies have identified a role for the posterior parietal lobe, in particular Brodmann's area 7 and the intraparietal sulcus (IPS), in mental rotation. Here we investigated whether neural activity in the posterior parietal lobe is essential for successful mental rotation performance by observing the effects of interrupting this activity during the execution of a mental...
متن کاملWhat is the parietal lobe contribution to long-term memory?
Until relatively recently, the lateral parietal lobe (PL) was not considered an important region for long-term memory, typically associated instead with functions such as visuospatial attention and visually-guided reaching. Scientific interest in a possible link with episodic memory was fuelled by the realisation of an intriguing discrepancy between functional imaging studies of episodic memory...

Editorial What is the parietal lobe contribution to human memory? Among the benefits to have emerged with the advent of functional neuroimaging has been the possibility of detecting regions of the brain that are engaged during cognitive processing, but whose involvement had previously remained relatively unap-preciated by researchers who had to rely solely on evidence from lesion studies. For e...
متن کاملSelective right parietal lobe activation during mental rotation: a parametric PET study.
Regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was measured with PET in seven healthy subjects while they carried out a mental rotation task in which they decided whether alphanumeric characters presented in different orientations were in their canonical form or mirror-reversed. Consistent with previous findings, subjects took proportionally longer to respond as characters were rotated further from the up...
متن کاملDevelopmental aspects of parietal hemispheric asymmetry during mental rotation.
Response times, accuracy and event-related potentials were measured in 24 children (mean age 7.6 years), 24 juveniles (11.4 years) and 24 adults (23.8 years) during a mental rotation task with letters. Response time and error rates increased with angular displacements for all age groups. Increasing accuracy with increasing age suggested that this task was more difficult for younger participants...
