These circuits are dependent on the motor area in order to receive afferent information from the parietal areas.

Each parietal area is connected to several motor areas.

"It begins with a difference when you compare the right and left sides of the brain at the parietal area," Dr. Small said.

This region, called the left temporal parietal area, is where sounds are deciphered into words.

Is the co-activation of frontal or parietal areas necessary?

The scalp distribution of P3b is generally larger over parietal areas.

Patients typically showed damage to the inferior parietal areas of the brain.

Most specifically, parietal area 5 is responsible for the actions which precede movement.

Brodmann mapped it as the medial continuation of lateral parietal area 7.

The heaviest projections are from cingulate cortex, frontal and parietal areas.
