this wiki article is good.

It well describes the kind of expt that Vanduffel did with his macaques.

note <b>LIP stores the location of the target to which a delayed saccade is made </b>even

after the target has been removed. &#160;&#160;Hence LIP prob contributes to working memory.

&#160;

LIP lateral intraparietal area &#160;is found in the <b>intraparietal sulcus</b>.

most likely involved in eye movement... electrical stim evokes saccades.

Also assoc with working memory assoc with guiding eye mvmts.</p>
