Posterior parietal lobe
The posterior parietal lobe, also called the posterior parietal cortex, is a part of the brain where 3D spatial perception takes place. It is part of the parietal lobe, which is where the perception of self and consciousness happens.
It is the back part of the parietal lobe.
The parietal cortex exists in three dimensions of euclidean space. The neurons are packed efficiently in 3D space.
The most efficient data storage in the parietal cortex happens in three dimensions of euclidean space.
The posterior parietal cortex includes premovement activity.[1]
History[edit]
Evolutionarily, the expansion of the posterior parietal cortex (the part responsible for complex tool use and spatial reasoning) has occurred over the last 20 to 30 million years.
People of note[edit]
Albert Einstein's parietal lobes were about 15% larger than the average brain.[2] Albert Einstein had such a high intelligence partially due to his large parietal cortex. The processing in the parietal cortex is what allows individuals to have a mind's eye for the imagination. 3D human-computer interaction, specifically 3D displays, offer the ability for anyone to have a similar extremely high level of imagination through saturation of the posterior parietal lobe area, boosting the effective intelligence of humanity to that if everyone were as smart as Einstein.
Posterior parietal cortex[edit]
The posterior parietal cortex is activated during episodic retrieval.[3]
Damage to the posterior parietal cortex results in deficits in visual working memory.[4]
