This page covers biological details of component group Superior Parietal Lobule. Component group is part of aHuman target integrated biological model.

• Top-down path to center: Cerebral Cortex -> Parietal Lobe (NC.LOBE.PAR) -> Superior Parietal Lobule (NC.SPL) (see Mind Maps)
• Function: Perception of emotions in facial stimuli and interpretation of sensory information
• Notes to function: SMG, Represent spoken words, tool use
