What is "parietal cortex"?
The parietal cortex is the region of the brain's cerebral cortex that resides in the parietal lobe. It is responsible for processing and integrating sensory information from various parts of the body, allowing us to perceive and interpret our surroundings. The parietal cortex is involved in functions such as spatial awareness, perception of touch, body orientation, and spatial cognition. It plays a vital role in our ability to navigate our environment, interact with objects, and engage in activities that require hand-eye coordination and sensory integration.
Examples
1. The parietal cortex connects the brain’s visual processing center with the motor cortex.
2. It makes our parietal cortex light up.
3. Essentially, Nadine fools our visual cortex, but not our motor cortex, and our parietal cortex is what picks that up.
4. This is the connection between the temporal and parietal cortices.
