Working memory is the fundamental function by which we break free from reflexive input-
output reactions to gain control over our own thoughts. It has two types of mechanisms …

The breadth and complexity of natural behaviors inspires awe. Understanding how our
perceptions, actions, and internal thoughts arise from evolved circuits in the brain has …

During evolution, the prefrontal region grew in size relative to the rest of the cortex. It
reached its largest extent in the human brain, where it constitutes 30% of the total cortical …

Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a powerful tool to probe in vivo brain circuits, as it
allows to assess several cortical properties such as excitability, plasticity and connectivity in …

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 …

Humans and non-human primates share an elemental quantification system that resides in a
dedicated neural network in the parietal and frontal lobes. In this cortical network,'number …

In common with the increase in environmental pollution in the past 10 years, there has also
been a recent increase in the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this regard …

Working memory is characterized by neural activity that persists during the retention interval
of delay tasks. Despite the ubiquity of this delay activity across tasks, species and …

Spiking neural networks (SNNs) serve as a promising computational framework for
integrating insights from the brain into artificial intelligence (AI). Existing software …
