The parietal eye field is a region in the brain that is responsible for processing visual information related to the perception of spatial movement. This region is also known by several other names, including the dorsal stream, the dorsal visual pathway, the parietal cortex, and the occipital-parietal cortex. The dorsal stream is so named because it runs from the occipital lobe to the parietal lobe. The parietal cortex is responsible for processing information related to the sense of touch, body position, and spatial location. The occipital-parietal cortex is the area where the two lobes of the brain meet and work together to process visually related information.
