Posterior Parietal Cortex

The brain region for spatial representation, attention, and integrating body with environment.

The posterior parietal cortex (PPC) is a region of the parietal lobe that integrates sensory information for spatial representation, attention, and the planning of actions. It creates and maintains spatial maps.

Key Functions

  • Spatial maps — representation of body and environment
  • Attention — directing attention in space
  • Sensorimotor integration — linking perception to action
  • Body schema — sense of body position and boundaries

In ONDA Life

Part 9 engages the PPC for "assembling spatial maps and placing the image within the environmental context." It synchronizes the mental sketch with the body's physiological response — the vision becomes grounded in space.
