Individual neurons in the superior parietal lobule simultaneously encode intuitive physics, collision prediction, and intended hand actions, resolving long-standing uncertainty about whether the same units support distinct cognitive functions. This unified representation in posterior parietal cortex provides a direct neural substrate for physical world modeling, bridging the gap between physical understanding, prediction, and action planning.

Hippocampal replay repairs the cognitive map to support flexible planning, as goal changes leave the structure incorrect and require specific updates for both the adopted and abandoned goals.
