Functional neuroimaging studies have started unravelling unexpected functional attributes
for the posteromedial portion of the parietal lobe, the precuneus. This cortical area has …

Since the time of Pythagoras, numerical and spatial representations have been inextricably
linked. We suggest that the relationship between the two is deeply rooted in the brain's …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

Cerebellar involvement in cognition, as well as in sensorimotor control, is increasingly
recognized and is thought to depend on connections with the cerebral cortex. Anatomical …

Following the fundamental recognition of its involvement in sensory-motor coordination and
learning, the cerebellum is now also believed to take part in the processing of cognition and …

It has become accepted in the neuroscience community that perception and performance
are quintessentially multisensory by nature. Using the full palette of modern brain imaging …

Adaptive body representation requires the continuous integration of multisensory inputs
within a flexible 'body model'in the brain. The present review evaluates the idea that this …

Despite the prominence of parietal activity in human neuroimaging investigations of
sensorimotor and cognitive processes, there remains uncertainty about basic aspects of …

In macaque monkeys, the posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is concerned with the integration of
multimodal information for constructing a spatial representation of the external world (in …

Experiments using functional neuroimaging and transcranial magnetic stimulation in
humans have revealed regions of the parietal lobes that are specialized for particular …
