MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences UnitDecades of neuropsychological and neuroimaging evidence have implicated the lateral parietal cortex (LPC) in a myriad of cognitive domains, generating numerous influential theoretical models. However, these theories fail to explain why distinct cognitive activities appear to implicate common neural regions. Scientists from the MRC CBU discuss a unifying model in which the angular gyrus forms […]
