A brain region {parietal lobe}| between frontal and occipital lobes and above temporal lobe is for movement, orientation, calculation, and recognition. It controls symbol use, spatial orientation, maps, space in general, body-side consciousness, numerical and logical relations, and sense associations. It understands speech parts, passive voice, and possessive case, in different subregions. It is for language, learning, and memory. It, mostly inferior parietal, participates in memory retrieval.
Attention affects parietal lobe [Bisley and Goldberg, 2003] [Colby and Goldberg, 1999] [Gottlieb et al., 1998].
damage
Parietal lobe damage disrupts memory, spatial cognition, and attention. Parietal lobe damage causes anomalous body experiences. Non-dominant, usually right, posterior parietal lobe damage can cause hemi-neglect and anosagnosia.
