Flexible behavior requires guidance not only by sensations that are available immediately
but also by relevant mental contents carried forward through working memory. Therefore …

Humans are remarkably limited in:(i) how many control-dependent tasks they can execute
simultaneously, and (ii) how intensely they can focus on a single task. These limitations are …

How do neural populations code for multiple, potentially conflicting tasks? Here we used
computational simulations involving neural networks to define" lazy" and" rich" coding …

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 …

Kraepelin, in his early descriptions of schizophrenia (SZ), characterized the illness as having
“an orchestra without a conductor.” Kraepelin further speculated that this “conductor” was …

Prediction is often regarded as an integral aspect of incremental language comprehension,
but little is known about the cognitive architectures and mechanisms that support it. We …

The primate prefrontal cortex (PFC) subserves our highest order cognitive operations, and
yet is tremendously dependent on a precise neurochemical environment for proper …

Theories of attention posit that attentional guidance operates on information held in a target
template within memory. The template is often thought to contain veridical target features …

Working memory (WM) allows us to remember and selectively control a limited set of items.
Neural evidence suggests it is achieved by interactions between bursts of beta and gamma …

Selective attention comprises essential infrastructural functions supporting cognition—
anticipating, prioritizing, selecting, routing, integrating, and preparing signals to guide …
