The inferior parietal lobule (IPL) is the lower part of the parital lobe and is concernced with multiple aspects of sensory processing and sensorimotor integration. This area is located below the horizontal portion of the intraparietal sulcus and behind the lower part of the postcentral sulcus. It contains the angular sulcus which is a lobule bypassing the ascending posterior segment and the supramarginal gyri which is an arched lobule surrounding the end of the lateral fissure.
The IPL is considered to be a multimodel sensory association area and is known to be involved in oculomotor and attentional mechanisms, the establishment of maps of extrapersonal space, and the adaptive recalibration of eye-hand coordination.
