@@Home -> BiologicalLifeResearch -> BrainCenterNSA_NC_IPS

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: 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

Component items:

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