Traveling waves in the prefrontal cortex during working memory

S Bhattacharya, SL Brincat, M Lundqvist… - PLoS computational …, 2022 - journals.plos.org
Neural oscillations are evident across cortex but their spatial structure is not well-explored.
Are oscillations stationary or do they form “traveling waves”, ie, spatially organized patterns …
