Parietal activity in episodic retrieval measured by fMRI and MEG

► fMRI and MEG show increased left lateral parietal activity with episodic retrieval. ► Peak fMRI response localizes to the intraparietal sulcus. ► MEG retrieval response in intraparietal sulcus is early and transient (0-300 ms). ► Parietal activity in cued recall is consistent with top-down attention to memory.
