POSTERIOR PARIETAL CORTEX AND LONG-TERM MEMORY: SOME DATA FROM LABORATORY ANIMALS

POSTERIOR PARIETAL CORTEX AND LONG-TERM MEMORY: SOME DATA FROM LABORATORY ANIMALS

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC), long viewed as just involved in the perception of spatial relationships between the body and its surroundings and of movements related to it has in recent years been shown to participate in many other cognitive processes, among which working memory and the consol...
