  • Title: A remarkable facilitating effect of parietal damage.
    Author: Cisek P.
    Journal: Neuron; 2008 Apr 10; 58(1):7-9. PubMed ID: 18400157.
    Abstract:
    When distracters conflict with our instructions, our reactions normally get slower. However, Coulthard and colleagues in this issue of Neuron show that damage to the right parietal lobe reverses this effect, paradoxically facilitating responses. This surprising result may shed light on the functional role of parietal cortex within a larger cortical circuit for voluntary behavior.
