A prominent account of prefrontal cortex (PFC) function is that single neurons within the PFC
maintain representations of task-relevant stimuli in working memory. Evidence for this view …

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

Sustained activity has been recorded in the prefrontal cortex during working memory tasks.
First, we compare the anatomical distribution of this activity in humans and monkeys. Then …

Although recent neuroimaging studies suggest that prefrontal cortex (PFC) is involved in
working memory (WM), the relationship between PFC activity and memory load has not yet …

Neurons in a distributed network of cortical and subcortical areas continue to discharge after
the presentation and disappearance of stimuli, providing a neural correlate for working …

Working memory refers to the short-term retention of information that is no longer accessible
in the environment, and the manipulation of this information, for subsequent use in guiding …

Using an event-related functional MRI design, we explored the relative roles of dorsal and
ventral prefrontal cortex (PFC) regions during specific components (Encoding, Delay …

Working memory–including simple maintenance of information as well as manipulation of
maintained information–has been long associated with lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC). More …

Several different types of memory have recently been proposed, some of which are believed
to operate within specific areas in the brain. In this article, we will discuss the relationship …

The prefrontal cortex (PFC) and posterior parietal cortex (PPC) are critical neural substrates
for working memory. Neural activity persists in these regions during the maintenance of a …
