Preferred Label : intraparietal sulcus;
Uberon definition : The intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is located on the lateral surface of the parietal lobe,
and consists of an oblique and a horizontal portion. The IPS contains a series of
functionally distinct subregions that have been intensively investigated using both
single cell neurophysiology in primates and human functional neuroimaging. Its principal
functions are related to perceptual-motor coordination (for directing eye movements
and reaching) and visual attention. The IPS is also thought to play a role in other
functions, including processing symbolic numerical information, visuospatial working
memory and interpreting the intent of others. [WP,unvetted].;
Uberon synonym : intraparietal fissure; interparietal fissure; sulcus interparietalis;
