This page covers biological details of component group Intraparietal Sulcus. Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to center: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Intraparietal Sulcus (NSA.NC.IPS) (see Mind Maps)
• Function: Perceptual-motor coordination and visual attention, eye movements and reaching
• Notes to function: PG, Control of saccadic eye movements, visual control of grasping

Components

(generated)

Component items:

• Posterior Eye Field (NPE.NC.IPS.PEF): Reflexive saccade triggering
  • Medial Intraparietal Sulcus (NPE.NC.IPS.MIP): Encode location of reach target in nose-centered coordinates
  • Lateral Intraparietal Sulcus (NPE.NC.IPS.LIP): Representing saliency of spatial locations, and attention to locations
• Ventral Intraparietal Sulcus (NSA.NC.IPS.VIP): Merge visual, somatosensory, auditory, and vestibular senses
• Anterior Intraparietal Sulcus (NSA.NC.IPS.AIP): Represent shape, size, and orientation of objects to be grasped
