occipitoparietal

The occipitoparietal region refers to the area of the cerebral cortex that encompasses the junction of the occipital lobe and the parietal lobe. This region is located at the rear of the brain, in the posterior part of the cerebral cortex.

The occipitoparietal region is involved in a variety of functions, including spatial awareness, sensory integration, and

Damage to the occipitoparietal region has been linked to a range of cognitive and sensory impairments. These
