Resting state effective connectivity between inferior parietal lobe (IPL) and inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) in the left and right hemispheres

Inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) are two important brain regions for the default mode network (DMN). IPL has been known to be involved in the control of attention and responding to given information while ITG is involved in the processing and perception awakened by vi...

description Inferior parietal lobule (IPL) and inferior temporal gyrus (ITG) are two important brain regions for the default mode network (DMN). IPL has been known to be involved in the control of attention and responding to given information while ITG is involved in the processing and perception awakened by visual stimuli.
