Kraepelin, in his early descriptions of schizophrenia (SZ), characterized the illness as having
“an orchestra without a conductor.” Kraepelin further speculated that this “conductor” was …

Intelligent animals devote much time and energy to exploring and obtaining information, but
the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We review recent developments on this …

Short-term memories link events separated in time, such as past sensation and future
actions. Short-term memories are correlated with slow neural dynamics, including selective …

Unlike brain regions that respond selectively to specific kinds of information content, a
number of frontal and parietal regions are thought to be domain-and process-general: that …

The primate prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves our highest order cognitive operations, and
yet is tremendously dependent on a precise neurochemical environment for proper …

The brain is limited in its capacity to process all sensory stimuli present in the physical world
at any point in time and relies instead on the cognitive process of attention to focus neural …

Over half a century of research focused on understanding how working memory is capacity
constrained has overshadowed the fact that it is also remarkably resistant to interference …

Humans and non-human primates share an elemental quantification system that resides in a
dedicated neural network in the parietal and frontal lobes. In this cortical network,'number …

Recent studies have provided conflicting accounts regarding where in the human brain
visual short-term memory (VSTM) content is stored, with strong univariate fMRI responses …

Our ability to focus on goal‐relevant aspects of the environment is critically dependent on
our ability to ignore or inhibit distracting information. One perspective is that distractor …
