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.

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.

Recalling either specific people or places from memory selectively recruits separate regions of human medial parietal cortex in a pattern reminiscent of how visual cortex represents these visual categories.

Quantitative modeling of inactivations shows the prefrontal cortex (but not parietal cortex) of the rat is obligatory for decisions guided by evidence accumulating longer than 240 ms.

Functional brain scans of human participants show that the brain encodes other people's attention in enough richness to distinguish whether that attention was directed exogenously (stimulus-driven) or endogenously (internally driven).

Comparison of feature encoding and top-down cognitive signals gives insight into the role of parietal cortex in mediating decision making.

Neurons in the macaque posterior parietal cortex behave like an error detector that computes the saccadic error by comparing the intended and the actual saccade end-position signals.

The fidelity of 3D visual object representations, choice-related activity, and experience-dependent sensorimotor associations are functionally linked in the caudal intraparietal area.

Neural populations in PPC dynamically represent motor-like and then sensory-like aspects of brain–computer interface finger movements with a representational structure that matches able-bodied individuals.

Single neurons in human posterior parietal cortex encode actual and imagined touch within a shared neural substrate.
