A fascinating hypothesis is that human and animal intelligence could be explained by a few
principles (rather than an encyclopaedic list of heuristics). If that hypothesis was correct, we …

Attention is the important ability to flexibly control limited computational resources. It has
been studied in conjunction with many other topics in neuroscience and psychology …

There is considerable interest in the structural and functional properties of the angular gyrus
(AG). Located in the posterior part of the inferior parietal lobule, the AG has been shown in …

Abstract Information processing in specialized, spatially distributed brain networks underlies
the diversity and complexity of our cognitive and behavioral repertoire. Networks converge …

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is traditionally associated with attention, perceptual
decision making and sensorimotor transformations, but more recent human neuroimaging …

Concurrent with mental processes that require rigorous computation and control, a series of
automated decisions and actions govern our daily lives, providing efficient and adaptive …

The right temporo-parietal junction (TPJ) is widely considered as part of a network that
reorients attention to task-relevant, but currently unattended stimuli (Corbetta and Shulman …

The contribution of the parietal cortex to episodic memory is a fascinating scientific puzzle.
On the one hand, parietal lesions do not normally yield severe episodic-memory deficits; on …

Focusing primarily on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), this article reviews
evidence regarding the roles of subregions of the medial temporal lobes, prefrontal cortex …

Although ventral parietal cortex (VPC) activations can be found in a variety of cognitive
domains, these activations have been typically attributed to cognitive operations specific to …
