Posterior parietal cortex
The posterior parietal lobe receives inputs from numerous visual, auditory, somatosensory, and proprioceptive cortical areas. It integrates this information into an overall spatial picture that enables orientation, spatial attention, and the planning and execution of goal-directed movements.

Angular gyrus
The angular gyrus is part of the cerebrum and is considered part of the parietal lobe. Anatomically, however, it is located at the intersection of the temporal, occipital, and parietal lobes. Functionally, visual and auditory impressions are integrated here, and it is also involved in writing, reading, and arithmetic.

Asomatognosia
Asomatognosia literally means "not knowing" one's own body. The term refers to the loss of perception or feeling of belonging to one's own body parts. Asomatognosia is usually caused by damage to the right parietal lobe, which means that the left side of the body is usually affected.

Neglect
Neglect is a perceptual disorder in which parts of the body or stimuli are ignored due to a brain lesion. The disorder affects the sides opposite the brain lesion. It usually occurs after lesions in the right parietal lobe. Accordingly, visual, auditory, and somatosensory stimuli on the left side are ignored.
