Representation of attended versus remembered locations in prefrontal cortex

MA Lebedev, A Messinger, JD Kralik, SP Wise - PLoS biology, 2004 - journals.plos.org
A great deal of research on the prefrontal cortex (PF), especially in nonhuman primates, has
focused on the theory that it functions predominantly in the maintenance of short-term …

Representation of the temporal order of visual objects in the primate lateral prefrontal cortex

Y Ninokura, H Mushiake, J Tanji - Journal of …, 2003 - journals.physiology.org
Recollecting a past episode involves remembering the temporal order of events. We studied
cellular activity in the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) of two monkeys that were required to …

Delay-period activity in the primate prefrontal cortex encoding multiple spatial positions and their order of presentation

S Funahashi, M Inoue, K Kubota - Behavioural brain research, 1997 - Elsevier
To investigate whether prefrontal neurons temporarily retain information regarding multiple
spatial positions, single-neuron activity was recorded while monkeys performed a delayed …

Task-dependent changes in short-term memory in the prefrontal cortex

MR Warden, EK Miller - Journal of Neuroscience, 2010 - Soc Neuroscience
The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is important for flexible, context-dependent behavioral control. It
also plays a critical role in short-term memory maintenance. Though many studies have …

Properties of delay-period neuronal activity in the monkey dorsolateral prefrontal cortex during a spatial delayed matching-to-sample task

T Sawaguchi, I Yamane - Journal of Neurophysiology, 1999 - journals.physiology.org
The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated in visuospatial memory, and its
cellular basis has been extensively studied with the delayed-response paradigm in …

Timecourse of object‐related neural activity in the primate prefrontal cortex during a short‐term memory task

G Rainer, EK Miller - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
We studied the timecourse of neural activity in the primate (Macacca mulatta) prefrontal (PF)
cortex during an object delayed‐matching‐to‐sample (DMS) task. To assess the effects of …

Prospective coding for objects in primate prefrontal cortex

G Rainer, SC Rao, EK Miller - Journal of Neuroscience, 1999 - Soc Neuroscience
We examined neural activity in prefrontal (PF) cortex of monkeys performing a delayed
paired associate task. Monkeys were cued with a sample object. Then, after a delay, a test …

Neural mechanisms of visual working memory in prefrontal cortex of the macaque

EK Miller, CA Erickson, R Desimone - Journal of neuroscience, 1996 - Soc Neuroscience
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 …

Maps of space in human frontoparietal cortex

TA Jerde, CE Curtis - Journal of Physiology-Paris, 2013 - Elsevier
Prefrontal cortex (PFC) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) are neural substrates for spatial
cognition. We here review studies in which we tested the hypothesis that human …

Neural activity in monkey prefrontal cortex is modulated by task context and behavioral instruction during delayed-match-to-sample and conditional prosaccade …

K Johnston, S Everling - Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2006 - direct.mit.edu
Complex behavior often requires the formation of associations between environmental
stimuli and motor responses appropriate to those stimuli. Moreover, the appropriate …
