Neurons in a distributed network of cortical and subcortical areas continue to discharge after
the presentation and disappearance of stimuli, providing a neural correlate for working …

Persistent activity of neurons in the prefrontal cortex has been thought to represent the
information maintained in working memory, though alternative models have challenged this …

Both dorsolateral prefrontal and posterior parietal cortex have been implicated in spatial
working memory and representation of task information. Prior experiments training animals …

Neural mechanisms of working memory, particularly its visuospatial aspect, have long been
studied in non-human primates. On the other hand, rodents are becoming more important in …

Visual perception occurs when a set of physical signals emanating from the environment
enter the visual system and the brain interprets such signals as a percept. Visual working …

A prominent account of prefrontal cortex (PFC) function is that single neurons within the PFC
maintain representations of task-relevant stimuli in working memory. Evidence for this view …

The prefrontal cortex is considered essential for learning to perform cognitive tasks though
little is known about how the representation of stimulus properties is altered by learning. To …

The prefrontal cortex is known to represent different types of information in working memory.
Contrasting theories propose that the dorsal and ventral regions of the lateral prefrontal …

Working memory is a mechanism for short-term active maintenance of information as well as
for processing maintained information. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has been known to …

Prefrontal (PF) cells were studied in monkeys performing a delayed matching to sample
task, which requires working memory. The stimuli were complex visual patterns and to solve …
