Preface for the special issue on 'attentional, perceptual, mnemonic and sensory-motor integration functions of the parietal cortex: a comparative approach'.

摘要

In addition to its traditional association with spatial and temporal processing, the parietal cortex has been implicated in a variety of higher order cognitive functions such as attention, working memory, and sensory-motor integration. Indeed, the results of studies conducted in rodents as well as humans and other primates indicate that regions of parietal cortex have pivotal roles in these functions.
