PSYC 142 Lecture Notes - Lecture 24: Superior Parietal Lobule, Inferior Parietal Lobule, Posterior Parietal Cortex
Document Summary
Parietal cortex: somatosensory cortex (splits frontal and parietal lobe, s1: like v1 for touch instead of vision. Encode location of touch: s2: like v2 for touch instead of vision. Encode texture: posterior parietal cortex, precuneus (inner part, superior parietal lobule (outer part) where vision and touch are combined. Inferior parietal lobule: under superior parietal lobule.

Spl vs. ipl in parietal conditions: spl: related to unemotional perception of body image. Ipl: related to emotional perception of body image; integrates how you feel about your body image: most xenomelia patients have spl differences, but greater ipl if more emotion.
