Cognitive neuroscience research on working memory has been largely motivated by a
standard model that arose from the melding of psychological theory with neuroscience data …

The discovery of mirror neurons in macaque frontal cortex has sparked a resurgence of
interest in motor/embodied theories of cognition. This critical review examines the evidence …

The past 10 years have brought near-revolutionary changes in psychological theories about
short-term memory, with similarly great advances in the neurosciences. Here, we critically …

Early studies of memory-impaired patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) damage led to
the view that the hippocampus and related MTL structures are involved in the formation of …

Decision making has recently emerged as a central theme in neurophysiological studies of
cognition, and experimental and computational work has led to the proposal of a cortical …

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 …

Using visual information to guide behaviour requires storage in a temporary buffer, known
as visual short-term memory (VSTM), that sustains attended information across saccades …

Recent experiments have shown that visual cognition blends current input with that from the
recent past to guide ongoing decision making. This serial dependence appears to exploit …

Working memory is fundamental to cognition, allowing one to hold information" in mind." A
defining characteristic of working memory is its flexibility: we can hold anything in mind …

Neuronal activity in early visual cortex depends on attention shifts but the contribution to
working memory has remained unclear. Here, we examine neuronal activity in the different …
