Overlapping Parietal Activity in Memory and Perception: Evidence for the Attention to Memory Model
Open accessAbstract
The specific role of different parietal regions to episodic retrieval is a topic of intense debate. According to the Attention to Memory (AtoM) model, dorsal parietal cortex (DPC) mediates top–down attention processes guided by retrieval goals, whereas ventral parietal cortex (VPC) mediates bottom–up attention processes captured by the retrieval output or the retrieval cue. This model also hypothesizes that the attentional functions of DPC and VPC are similar for memory and perception. To investigate this last hypothesis, we scanned participants with event-related fMRI whereas they performed memory and perception tasks, each comprising an orienting phase (top–down attention) and a detection phase (bottom–up attention). The study yielded two main findings. First, consistent with the AtoM model, orienting-related activity for memory and perception overlapped in DPC, whereas detection-related activity for memory and perception overlapped in VPC. The DPC overlap was greater in the left intraparietal sulcus, and the VPC overlap in the left TPJ. Around overlapping areas, there were differences in the spatial distribution of memory and perception activations, which were consistent with trends reported in the literature. Second, both DPC and VPC showed stronger connectivity with medial-temporal lobe during the memory task and with visual cortex during the perception task. These findings suggest that, during memory tasks, some parietal regions mediate similar attentional control processes to those involved in perception tasks (orienting in DPC vs. detection in VPC), although on different types of information (mnemonic vs. sensory).

In the citing paper
“Indeed, Cabeza et al. (2011;2012) have also proposed that the ventral parietal cortex could have an overarching function, but it has subregions that, through different functional connectivity, apply the function to different types of information according to different goals.”

In the citing paper
“Even if the region of overlap performs a common function such as contextual updating, the pattern of the input to or output from this region could be different depending on the task being performed (Cabeza et al. 2011;Cabeza et al. 2012;Geng and Vossel 2013).”

“The MTL ROI was derived using the left hippocampus label of the AAL atlas (Tzourio-Mazoyer et al., 2002) in the WFU Pickatlas tool, whereas the visual cortex ROI was created by selecting left BA 17 from Pickatlasʼs Brodmannʼs area labels and dilating the volume by four voxels in three dimensions.”

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.
