Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

WORKING memory refers to a system for temporary storage and manipulation of information
in the brain, a function critical for a wide range of cognitive operations. It has been proposed …

The severe limitation of the capacity of working memory, the ability to store temporarily and
manipulate information, necessitates mechanisms that restrict access to it. Here we report …

Working memory—the brain's ability to internalize information and use it flexibly to guide
behaviour—is an essential component of cognition. Although activity related to working …

Visual working memory provides an essential link between perception and higher cognitive
functions, allowing for the active maintenance of information about stimuli no longer in view …

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

Working memory involves the short-term maintenance of an active representation of
information so that it is available for further processing. Visual working memory tasks, in …

How the brain selects appropriate sensory inputs and suppresses distractors is unknown.
Given the well-established role of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in executive function, its …

Our capacity to store information in working memory might be determined by the degree to
which only relevant information is remembered. The question remains as to how this …

Spatial working memory, the caching of behaviourally relevant spatial cues on a timescale of
seconds, is a fundamental constituent of cognition. Although the prefrontal cortex and …
