Superior Parietal Lobule
By: Tim Barclay, PhD
Medically reviewed by: Stephanie Curreli, MD, PhD
Last Updated: Jun 22, 2015
The superior parietal lobule is part of the parietal lobe and is a subdivision of the posterior parietal cortex. It is demarcated by two sulci, the postcentral sulcus and the intraparietal sulcus, which subdivide the surface of the parietal lobe into the postcentral gyrus, the superior parietal lobule, and the inferior parietal lobule.
