The parietal-temporal-occipital (PTO) association area, also referred to as the temporo-parieto-occipital (TPO) junction, is an area within the cerebral cortex where the parietal, temporal and occipital lobes meet. [1] High level of interpreting meaningful signals in the surrounding sensory area. They have functional subareas:
The brain contains four main lobes: temporal lobe, parietal lobe, frontal lobe, and the occipital lobe. The temporoparietal junction lies in the region between the temporal and parietal lobes, near the lateral sulcus (Sylvian fissure). Specifically, it is composed of the inferior parietal lobule and the caudal parts of the superior temporal ...
[3] [4] [5] Brodmann area 7 is part of the superior parietal lobule, [3] [6] but some sources include Brodmann area 5. [6] The inferior parietal lobule is further subdivided into the supramarginal gyrus, the temporoparietal junction, and the angular gyrus. [3] [4] [5] The inferior parietal lobule corresponds to Brodmann areas 39 and 40. [3] [5]
[1] This area is among the earliest affected by Alzheimer's disease , frontotemporal dementia , frontotemporal lobar degeneration , and is commonly involved at the start of temporal lobe seizures .
The superior parietal lobule contains Brodmann's areas 5 and 7. Behind it is the lateral part of the parieto-occipital sulcus, around the end of which it is joined to the occipital lobe by a curved gyrus, the arcus parietooccipitalis. Below, it is separated from the inferior parietal lobule by the horizontal portion of the intraparietal sulcus.
The parietal lobe is positioned above the occipital lobe and behind the frontal lobe and central sulcus.. The parietal lobe integrates sensory information among various modalities, including spatial sense and navigation (proprioception), the main sensory receptive area for the sense of touch (mechanoreception) in the somatosensory cortex which is just posterior to the central sulcus in the ...
Area 39 was regarded by Alexander Luria as a part of the parietal-temporal-occipital area, which includes Brodmann area 40, Brodmann area 19, and Brodmann area 37. Damage to the left Brodmann area 39 may result in dyslexia or in semantic aphasia. [1] Albert Einstein had less neurones (relative to glial cells) in this (left sided) area than ...
