Abstract

▪ Abstract The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), historically believed to be a sensory structure, is now viewed as an area important for sensory-motor integration. Among its functions is the forming of intentions, that is, high-level cognitive plans for movement. There is a map of intentions within the PPC, with different subregions dedicated to the planning of eye movements, reaching movements, and grasping movements. These areas appear to be specialized for the multisensory integration and coordinate transformations required to convert sensory input to motor output. In several subregions of the PPC, these operations are facilitated by the use of a common distributed space representation that is independent of both sensory input and motor output. Attention and learning effects are also evident in the PPC. However, these effects may be general to cortex and operate in the PPC in the context of sensory-motor transformations.

  • Previous studies have shown that LIP responses are modulated by many factors, such as attention, expectation, time, motor intention, experienced value, reward, and the prior probability of making an eye movement.

    “In addition, previous studies have shown that LIP responses are modulated by many factors, such as attention, expectation, time, motor intention, experienced value, reward, and the prior probability of making an eye movement12,13,39–42.”

  • Neurophysiological data in monkeys shows that the PPc contains several distinct, but functionally connected, neural populations coding multisensory stimuli relative to a variety of body-part-centered reference frames.

    “Neurophysiological data in monkeys shows that the PPc contains several distinct, but functionally connected, neural populations coding multisensory stimuli relative to a variety of body-part-centered reference frames (see Andersen & Buneo, 2002;Avillac, Deneve, Olivier, Pouget, & Duhamel, 2005;Colby, 1998;Grefkes & Fink, 2005).”

  • Body representations interface with the motor system and with the executive system, representing actions and goals.

    “More moderately, it is clear that body representations interface with the motor system and with the executive system, representing actions and goals (Andersen & Buneo, 2002;Dorris & Glimcher, 2004).”

  • Each core attention region contains multiple functional subcomponents.

    “Although we refer to the core regions of these systems as if they were homogeneous elements (e.g., IPS or FEF), each contains multiple functional subcomponents (5-7, 18, 19).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
