Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The intraparietal sulcus is a brain region that is involved in spatial attention. When we focus our attention on an object, the intraparietal sulcus shows increased activity. This activity is thought to be related to the process of selecting the object from the surrounding environment and directing our attention towards it.
