What are the neural mechanisms underlying working memory (WM)? One influential theory
posits that neurons in the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) store WM information via persistent …

Short-term memory (STM) refers to the capacity-limited retention of information over a brief
period of time, and working memory (WM) refers to the manipulation and use of that …

Out of all the human senses, touch is the one that is most often unappreciated, and
undervalued. Yet, the surface of the human body, the skin, is actually one huge sheet of …

Sustained activity encoding visual working memory representations has been observed in
several cortical areas of primates. Where along the visual pathways this activity emerges …

Working memory (WM) enables the maintenance and manipulation of information relevant to
behavioral goals. Variability in WM ability is strongly correlated with IQ [1], and WM function …

To internally reflect the sensory environment, animals create neural maps encoding the
external stimulus space. From that primary neural code relevant information has to be …

We establish a new dissociation between the roles of working memory (WM) cognitive
control and visual maintenance in selective attention as measured by the efficiency of …

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 location of a remembered reach target can be encoded in egocentric and/or allocentric
reference frames. Cortical mechanisms for egocentric reach are relatively well described …

Primates can store sensory stimulus parameters in working memory for subsequent
manipulation, but until now, there has been no demonstration of this capacity in rodents …
