According to the Attention to Memory (AtoM) model, dorsal parietal cortex (DPC) mediates top\u2013down attention processes guided by retrieval goals, whereas ventral parietal cortex (VPC) mediates bottom\u2013up attention processes captured by the retrieval output or the retrieval cue. This model also hypothesizes that the attentional functions of DPC and VPC are similar for memory and perception. To investigate this last hypothesis, we scanned participants with event-related fMRI whereas they performed memory and perception tasks, each comprising an orienting phase (top\u2013down attention) and a detection phase (bottom\u2013up attention). The study yielded two main findings. First, consistent with the AtoM model, orienting-related activity for memory and perception overlapped in DPC, whereas detection-related activity for memory and perception overlapped in VPC. The DPC overlap was greater in the left intraparietal sulcus, and the VPC overlap in the left TPJ. Around overlapping areas, there were differences in the spatial distribution of memory and perception activations, which were consistent with trends reported in the literature. Second, both DPC and VPC showed stronger connectivity with medial-temporal lobe during the memory task and with visual cortex during the perception task. These findings suggest that, during memory tasks, some parietal regions mediate similar attentional control processes to those involved in perception tasks (orienting in DPC vs. detection in VPC), although on different types of information (mnemonic vs. sensory).<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1162\/jocn_a_00065","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,5,13]],"date-time":"2011-05-13T14:09:54Z","timestamp":1305295794000},"page":"3209-3217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1162\/mitpressjournals.corrections.policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":123,"title":["Overlapping Parietal Activity in Memory and Perception: Evidence for the Attention to Memory Model"],"prefix":"10.1162","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Roberto","family":"Cabeza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"1Duke University"}]},{"given":"Yonatan S.","family":"Mazuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Duke University"}]},{"given":"Jared","family":"Stokes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Duke University"}]},{"given":"James E.","family":"Kragel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Duke University"}]},{"given":"Marty G.","family":"Woldorff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"1Duke University"}]},{"given":"Elisa","family":"Ciaramelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"2University of Bologna"}]},{"given":"Ingrid R.","family":"Olson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"3Temple University"}]},{"given":"Morris","family":"Moscovitch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"4University of Toronto"}]}],"member":"281","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021072901020954800_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"14415","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.4163-07.2007","article-title":"Parietal lobe and episodic memory: Bilateral damage causes impaired free recall of autobiographical memory.","volume":"27","author":"Berryhill","year":"2007","journal-title":"Journal of Neuroscience"},{"key":"2021072901020954800_R2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1813","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuropsychologia.2008.03.019","article-title":"Role of parietal regions in episodic memory retrieval: The dual attentional processes hypothesis.","volume":"46","author":"Cabeza","year":"2008","journal-title":"Neuropsychologia"},{"key":"2021072901020954800_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"613","DOI":"10.1038\/nrn2459","article-title":"The parietal cortex and episodic memory: An attentional account.","volume":"9","author":"Cabeza","year":"2008","journal-title":"Nature Reviews Neuroscience"},{"key":"2021072901020954800_R4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4943","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.1209-09.2010","article-title":"Top\u2013down and bottom\u2013up attention to memory are dissociated in posterior parietal cortex: Neuroimaging and neuropsychological evidence.","volume":"30","author":"Ciaramelli","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of Neuroscience"},{"key":"2021072901020954800_R5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1828","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuropsychologia.2008.03.022","article-title":"Top\u2013down and bottom\u2013up attention to memory: A hypothesis (AtoM) on the role of the posterior parietal cortex in memory retrieval.","volume":"46","author":"Ciaramelli","year":"2008","journal-title":"Neuropsychologia"},{"key":"2021072901020954800_R6","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"201","DOI":"10.1038\/nrn755","article-title":"Control of goal-directed and stimulus-driven attention in the brain.","volume":"3","author":"Corbetta","year":"2002","journal-title":"Nature Reviews Neuroscience"},{"key":"2021072901020954800_R7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1743","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neuropsychologia.2008.01.011","article-title":"Does lateral parietal cortex support episodic memory?
