Parietal Lobe test 2 Flashcards
What is the purpose or function of the lateral intraparietal (LIP)?
Related to Eye movements
What is the purpose of the anterior intraparietal (AIP)?
- sensorimotor integration
- tactile shape processing ability
- visual/tactile matching
- 3 dimensional comprehension
What pathology is associated with the anterior intraparietal? Describe that pathology.
Asteriognosis-inability to make sense of a shape
What is the purpose or function of the ventral intraparietal (VIP)?
- Visual attention and processing
- polymodal integration: Visual, tactile, vestibular, and auditory
What pathology is associated with ventral intraparietal?
Ideomotor apraxia
What lobes does the intraparietal sulcus divide into?
Inferior and superior
What is the purpose or function of the intraparietal sulcus?
- Visiospatial working memory
- Theory of mind
- perceptual motor coordination
What pathology is associated with intraparietal sulcus? Describe that pathology.
Tactile apraxia-A deficit in performing exploratory movements (manual reaching and pointing)
What area is the parietal operculum in?
Area 2
What is the purpose or function of the parietal operculum?
Overlies the insula
What area is the angular gyrus in?
Area 39
What is the purpose or function of the angular gyrus?
- math calculations
- Visual association for reading (agraphia-writing deficit) and (alexia-Reading deficit)
- Reading comprehension
- Reading and writing for children
What area is the supramarginal gyrus in?
Area 40
What is the purpose or function of the supramarginal gyrus?
- spatiomotor tasks (functional orientation of objects)
- phonological processing of speech and language
- Phonological processing of written language

- Supramarginal gyrus (A40)
2. Angular gyro (A39)
