Music has existed in human societies since prehistory, perhaps because it allows
expression and regulation of emotion and evokes pleasure. In this review, we present …

Neural networks are successfully used to imitate and model cognitive processes. However,
to provide clues about the neurobiological mechanisms enabling human cognition, these …

Human ventrolateral frontal cortex (vlFC) is identified with cognitive processes such as
language and cognitive flexibility. The relationship between it and the vlFC of other primates …

Prefrontal cortex (PFC) and posterior parietal cortex are important for maintaining
behaviorally relevant information in working memory. Here, we challenge the commonly …

The prefrontal cortex is so important to human beings that, if deprived of it, our behaviour is
reduced to action-reactions and automatisms, with no ability to make deliberate decisions …

Studies of the memory capabilities of nonhuman primates have consistently revealed a
relative weakness for auditory compared to visual or tactile stimuli: extensive training is …

The left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) including Broca's area is involved in the processing of
many language subdomains, and thus, research on the evolutional and human …

Working memory (WM), the ability to actively hold information in memory over a delay period
of seconds, is a fundamental constituent of cognition. Delay-period activity in sensory …

No other modality is more frequently represented in the prefrontal cortex than the auditory,
but the role of auditory information in prefrontal functions is not well understood. Pathways …

Accumulating evidence shows that auditory cortex (AC) of humans, and other primates, is
involved in more complex cognitive processes than feature segregation only, which are …
