Working memory—the ability to maintain and manipulate information over a period of
seconds—is a core component of higher cognitive functions. The storage capacity of …

A decade has passed since the last published review of math anxiety, which was carried out
by Ashcraft and Ridley (2005). Given the considerable interest aroused by this topic in …

Although neuroscience has made remarkable progress in understanding the involvement of
prefrontal cortex (PFC) in human memory, the necessity of dorsolateral PFC (dlPFC) for key …

We review evidence for partially segregated networks of brain areas that carry out different
attentional functions. One system, which includes parts of the intraparietal cortex and …

One of the most popular experimental paradigms for functional neuroimaging studies of
