Sensory-spatial transformations in the left posterior parietal cortex may contribute to reach timing.
The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) contains viewer-centered spatial maps important for reaching movements. It is known that spatial reaching deficits emerge when this region is damaged, yet less is known about temporal deficits that may also emerge because of a failure in sensory-spatial transformations. This work introduces a new geometric measure to quantify multimodal sensory transformation...
متن کاملTHE EFFECT OF POSTERIOR CEREBRAL PULMONARY DIRECT ELECTRICAL STIMULATION (TDCS) ON IMPROVING SPATIAL, VISUAL, AND VERBAL PERCEPTUAL ABILITIES
Background & Aims: Direct electrical stimulation of the brain is a therapeutic technique that can be effective in improving visual, verbal, and spatial perception. The present study investigated the effect of direct electrical stimulation (tDCS) of the posterior parietal cortex on improving spatial, visual, and verbal perceptual abilities. Materials & Methods: In this quasi-experimental study,...
متن کاملFunctional reorganization of spatial transformations after a parietal lesion.
BACKGROUND Mental spatial transformations are ubiquitous and necessary for everyday spatial cognition, such as packing luggage into a car or repairing a broken vase. The posterior parietal cortex is known to be involved in performing such transformations. OBJECTIVE To measure reorganization after lesioning of posterior parietal cortex areas subserving spatial transformation. METHOD Brain ac...
متن کاملEncoding of intention and spatial location in the posterior parietal cortex.
The posterior parietal cortex is functionally situated between sensory cortex and motor cortex. The responses of cells in this area are difficult to classify as strictly sensory or motor, since many have both sensory- and movement-related activities, as well as activities related to higher cognitive functions such as attention and intention. In this review we will provide evidence that the post...
متن کاملContribution of cells in the posterior parietal cortex to the planning of visually guided locomotion in the cat: effects of temporary visual interruption.
In the present study, we determined whether cells in the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) may contribute to the planning of voluntary gait modifications in the absence of visual input. In two cats we recorded the responses of 41 neurons in layer V of the PPC that discharged in advance of the gait modification to a 900-ms interruption of visual information (visual occlusion). The cats continued t...
