Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The posterior parietal cortex is known to keep track of the position of the body relative to the world and is involved in spatial awareness and attention. It is not the main area for touch (which is the somatosensory cortex), is active during both preparations for a movement and movement itself, and does not specifically respond to lights, noises, and other signals for a movement.
