Executive control refers to the regulation of cognition and behavior by mental processes and
is a hallmark of higher cognition. Most approaches to understanding its mechanisms begin …

Studies of the memory capabilities of nonhuman primates have consistently revealed a
relative weakness for auditory compared to visual or tactile stimuli: extensive training is …

The human primary visual cortex (V1) is not only activated by incoming visual information
but is also engaged by top-down cognitive processes, such as visual working memory, even …

Although long-lasting behavioral memories have long been thought to require equally
persistent molecular changes, little is known about the biochemical underpinnings of …

Historically, the brainstem has been neglected as a part of the brain involved in language
processing. We review recent evidence of language-dependent effects in pitch processing …

Current models of visual search assume that search is guided by an active visual working
memory representation of what we are currently looking for. This attentional template for …

Neural encoding of pitch in the auditory brainstem is shaped by long-term experience with
language. The aim herein was to determine to what extent this experience-dependent effect …

Perception is shaped by actions, which determine the allocation of selective attention across
the visual field. Here, we review evidence that maintenance in visual working memory is …

Visual working memory is an online workspace for temporarily representing visual
information from the environment. The two most prevalent empirical characteristics of …

To make deliberate decisions, we have to utilize detailed information about the environment
and our internal states. The ventral visual pathway provides detailed information on object …
