The frontoparietal network is critical for our ability to coordinate behavior in a rapid, accurate,
and flexible goal-driven manner. In this review, we outline support for the framing of the …

In natural behaviour, animals actively interrogate their environments using endogenously
generated 'question-and-answer'strategies. However, in laboratory settings participants …

Persistent activity generated in the PFC during the delay period of working memory tasks
represents information about stimuli held in memory and determines working memory …

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 …

While signatures of attention have been extensively studied in sensory systems, the neural
sources and computations responsible for top-down control of attention are largely …

Prominent models of attentional control assert a dichotomy between top-down and bottom-
up control, with the former determined by current selection goals and the latter determined …

Here, we update our 1990 Annual Review of Neuroscience article,“The Attention System of
the Human Brain.” The framework presented in the original article has helped to integrate …

Since the original characterization of the ventral visual pathway, our knowledge of its
neuroanatomy, functional properties, and extrinsic targets has grown considerably. Here we …

Cognitive flexibility is fundamental to adaptive intelligent behavior. Prefrontal cortex has long
been associated with flexible cognitive function, but the neurophysiological principles that …

Recent studies have revealed a strong relationship between visual working memory and
selective attention, such that attention is biased by what is currently on our mind. However …
