Praepiriform area
The praepiriform area is part of the piriform cortex in the ventral temporal lobe and belongs to the primary olfactory cortex, i.e., the primary olfactory cortex. Among other things, it contains inputs from the olfactory bulb (bulbus olfactorius) and is therefore involved in the initial cortical processing of olfactory stimuli.

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.
