In this chapter we describe the anatomical and functional characteristics of the Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC) of macaque monkeys and humans. We critically discuss the classical notion that the posterior parietal lobule is an association region, and contrast it with the more recent view that PPC is endowed with motor properties. We conclude that PPC motor organization represents the basic scaffold of this region on the top of which sensory information is organized.

Abstract
In this chapter we describe the anatomical and functional characteristics of the Posterior Parietal Cortex (PPC) of macaque monkeys and humans. We critically discuss the classical notion that the posterior parietal lobule is an association region, and contrast it with the more recent view that PPC is endowed with motor properties. We conclude that PPC motor organization represents the basic scaffold of this region on the top of which sensory information is organized.File in questo prodotto:
