Milner and Goodale's model of vision beyond the occipital lobe is based on the finding that many neurons in the posterior parietal lobe respond to visual stimuli only if the monkey reaches for the stimulus. This suggests that the parietal lobe is involved in guiding actions based on visual information, rather than simply processing visual information for perception.
