Humans showed the most widespread asymmetric connectivity between the inferior parietal lobule subregions and the rest of the brain compared to macaques and chimpanzees, which shapes hemispheric specialization in primates.
Electrophysiological recordings in awake behaving monkeys show the first evidence of the effect of continuous theta-burst stimulation, a widely used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation protocol, at the level of single neurons.
Prefrontal cortex plays a leading role in sequential decisions compared to posterior parietal cortex and relies on nonlinear integration of sensory and mnemonic information for decision formation.

The adaptive value of social behaviour exhibited in adult life varies with conditions experienced in early life, and poorer conditions may promote conflict over cooperation.
When mice use vision to choose their trajectories, a large fraction of parietal cortex activity can be precisely predicted from navigational attributes such as spatial position and heading.

Stimulating one side of parietal cortex using an appropriate frequency of alternating current interferes with attention to a sound stream from a location on the opposite side of a space.

Primates use their eyes to keep track of spatial goals, and this strategy is reflected by the functional connectivity between a traditionally considered optic flow area (dorsomedial superior temporal area) and prefrontal cortex.
Posterior parietal cortex provides an estimation of the location of an object with respect to the body and uses this information to plan appropriate gait changes to negotiate such an obstacle.
