Among the areas of the monkey parietal cortex, those lying inside the parieto-occipital sulcus (POs), especially in its anterior bank and fundus, have been of particular interest for neuroscientists in the last decades. In fact, while the areas in the posterior bank show simple low-level visual responses, areas of the anterior bank and on the fundus have complex high-level visual and visuomotor functions. In this chapter, we will describe the main properties of neurons of the areas located in the POs.

Abstract

Among the areas of the monkey parietal cortex, those lying inside the parieto-occipital sulcus (POs), especially in its anterior bank and fundus, have been of particular interest for neuroscientists in the last decades. In fact, while the areas in the posterior bank show simple low-level visual responses, areas of the anterior bank and on the fundus have complex high-level visual and visuomotor functions. In this chapter, we will describe the main properties of neurons of the areas located in the POs.
