A sequence of images, sounds, or words can be stored at several levels of detail, from
specific items and their timing to abstract structure. We propose a taxonomy of five distinct …

The prefrontal cortex participates in a variety of higher cognitive functions. The concept of
working memory is now widely used to understand prefrontal functions. Neurophysiological …

How the brain stores a sequence in memory remains largely unknown. We investigated the
neural code underlying sequence working memory using two-photon calcium imaging to …

▪ Abstract The prefrontal cortex has long been suspected to play an important role in
cognitive control, in the ability to orchestrate thought and action in accordance with internal …

This paper concerns how motor actions are neurally represented and coded. Action
planning and motor preparation can be studied using a specific type of representational …

Linguistic analyses suggest that sentences are not mere strings of words but possess a
hierarchical structure with constituents nested inside each other. We used functional …

Working memory is responsible for the short-term storage and online manipulation of
information necessary for higher cognitive functions, such as language, planning and …

Number symbols have allowed humans to develop superior mathematical skills that are a
hallmark of technologically advanced cultures. Findings in animal cognition, developmental …

The basal ganglia have been shown to contribute to habit and stimulus–response (S–R)
learning. These forms of learning have the property of slow acquisition and, in humans, can …

Connectionist models are used to explore the relationship between cognitive deficits and
biological abnormalities in schizophrenia. Schizophrenic deficits in tasks that tap attention …
