Other Roles of The IPS
Five regions of the intraparietal sulcus (IPS): anterior, lateral, ventral, caudal, and medial
- LIP & VIP: involved in visual attention and saccadic eye movements
- VIP & MIP: visual control of reaching and pointing
- AIP: visual control of grasping and manipulating hand movements
- CIP: perception of depth from stereopsis
All of these areas have projections to the frontal lobe for executive control.
Activity in the intraparietal sulcus has also been associated with the learning of sequences of finger movements. (http://jn.physiology.org/content/88/4/2035.full)

Famous quotes containing the word roles:
“A concern with parenting...must direct attention beyond behavior. This is because parenting is not simply a set of behaviors, but participation in an interpersonal, diffuse, affective relationship. Parenting is an eminently psychological role in a way that many other roles and activities are not.”
—Nancy Chodorow (20th century)
