parietal cortex
Acronym:
The term parietal cortex refers to the set of cortical areas defined on the basis of internal structure that comprise the parietal lobe in the human and the macaque. Its boundaries are not precisely contiguous with those of the parietal lobe, which is defined on the basis of external sulcal landmarks.
      The parietal cortex has two major components: the anterior parietal cortex located in the postcentral gyrus and the posterior parietal cortex located caudal to the postcentral sulcus ( Caspers-2012 ).
