Forward Connections • What-Where pathways • Parietal: spatial orientation, attention (where pathway). • Temporal: recognition (what pathway). • Patients with temporal lobe lesions are aware that there's a problem and they develop strategies to compensate for it. Parietal patients often unaware of their deficits.
Parietal “Where” System • V3 – perception of shape • MT (V5) – small moving objects, moving edges • MST – rotation, head movements, movement against background • V4 – perception of color, visual attention Detail #1 Detail #2
Parietal Lobe • PERCEPTION: Complex aspects of spatial orientation and perception. • TOUCH: Primary somatosensory cortex -- initial cortical processing of tactile information. • LANGUAGE: The inferior parietal lobule of the left hemisphere (w/ temporal lobe) -- comprehension of language.

Parietal Lobe • PERCEPTION: Complex aspects of spatial orientation and perception. • TOUCH: Primary somatosensory cortex -- initial cortical processing of tactile information. • LANGUAGE: The inferior parietal lobule of the left hemisphere (w/ temporal lobe) -- comprehension of language.
Wernicke’s Area • Rear of the parietal lobe (combined with temporal lobe) • Important for understanding the sensory (auditory and visual) information associated with language. • Damage to this area of the brain produces "sensory aphasia.”
