Role of the posterior parietal cortex in spatial hearing.
The human posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is well known to be involved in various functions of multisensory spatial perception. However, the specific role of the PPC in hearing has, up to now, remained unclear. To allow more reliable conclusions to be drawn on this issue, we have used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in healthy subjects. Focal stimulation of the PPC induced a system...
متن کاملNumerical and Spatial Intuitions: A Role for Posterior Parietal Cortex?
Historically, many mathematical advances have been developed through the use of conceptual mappings between numbers and space. From the most elementary aspects of mathematics, such as the notion of measurement, all the way up to the concepts of the real number line, Cartesian coordinates, the complex plane, and even the proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem, metaphors by which numbers are made to corr...
متن کاملThe Role of Posterior Parietal Cortex in Spatial Representation of Time: A TMS Study
The existence of a spatial representation of time, where temporal intervals are represented on a mental temporal line (MTL), oriented in ascending order from left to right, was demonstrated manipulating spatial attention by means of Prismatic Adaptation (PA). In young healthy subjects, prisms adaptation inducing a rightward shift of spatial-attention produced an overestimation of time intervals...
متن کاملThe posterior parietal cortex and non-spatial cognition
The primate posterior parietal cortex (PPC) processes information related to environmental physical space. The human PPC has apparently expanded not only in size but also in its functional range to encompass certain abstract and higher-order conceptual spaces. In this report, we review various forms of non-spatial representation in the PPC. These forms are presented roughly in order of the leve...
متن کاملInteraction between Spatial and Feature Attention in Posterior Parietal Cortex
Lateral intraparietal (LIP) neurons encode a vast array of sensory and cognitive variables. Recently, we proposed that the flexibility of feature representations in LIP reflect the bottom-up integration of sensory signals, modulated by feature-based attention (FBA), from upstream feature-selective cortical neurons. Moreover, LIP activity is also strongly modulated by the position of space-based...
