Working memory is a critical brain function for maintaining and manipulating information
over delay periods of seconds. It is debated whether delay-period neural activity in sensory …

Whether transient or sustained neuronal activity during the delay period underlies working
memory (WM) has been debated. Here, we report that transient, but not sustained, delay …

Working memory (WM), the ability to actively hold information in memory over a delay period
of seconds, is a fundamental constituent of cognition. Delay-period activity in sensory …

In many systems, sleep plays a vital role in memory consolidation and synaptic homeostasis.
These processes together help store information of biological significance and reset …

Background Sleep plays an active role in memory consolidation. Sleep structure (REM/Slow
wave activity [SWS]) can be modified after learning, and in some cortical circuits, sleep is …

Encoding and retaining novel sequences of sensory stimuli in working memory is crucial for
adaptive behavior. A fundamental challenge for the central nervous system is to maintain …

A fundamental feature of memory in humans is the ability to simultaneously work with
multiple types of information using independent memory systems. Working memory is …

Medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) activity is fundamental for working memory (WM), attention,
and behavioral inhibition; however, a comprehensive understanding of the neural …

Acquisition of a behavioral task is influenced by many factors. The relative timing of stimuli is
such a factor and is especially relevant for tasks relying on short-term memory, like working …

Memory and its underlying neural plasticity play important roles in sensory discrimination
and cortical pattern recognition in olfaction. Given the reported function of slow-wave sleep …
