Working memory is thought to result from sustained neuron spiking. However, computational
models suggest complex dynamics with discrete oscillatory bursts. We analyzed local field …

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 …

Persistent spiking has been thought to underlie working memory (WM). However, virtually all
of the evidence for this comes from studies that averaged spiking across time and across …

Working memory is where thoughts are held and manipulated. For many years, the
dominant model was that working memory relied on steady-state neural dynamics. A neural …

Working memory (WM) activity is not as stationary or sustained as previously thought. There
are brief bursts of gamma (~ 50–120 Hz) and beta (~ 20–35 Hz) oscillations, the former …

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 …

Functional imaging of human cortex implicates a diverse network of brain regions supporting
working memory—the capacity to hold and manipulate information for short periods of time …

A commonly observed neural correlate of working memory is firing that persists after the
triggering stimulus disappears. Substantial effort has been devoted to understanding the …

During working memory tasks, the firing rates of single neurons recorded in behaving
monkeys remain elevated without external cues. Modeling studies have explored different …

The prefrontal cortex is activated during working memory, as evidenced by fMRI results in
human studies and neurophysiological recordings in animal models. Persistent activity …
