Visual mental imagery engages the left fusiform gyrus, but not the early visual cortex: A meta-analysis of neuroimaging evidence

A Spagna, D Hajhajate, J Liu, P Bartolomeo - … & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2021 - Elsevier
The dominant neural model of visual mental imagery (VMI) stipulates that memories from the
medial temporal lobe acquire sensory features in early visual areas. However, neurological …

50 years of mnemonic persistent activity: quo vadis?

XJ Wang - Trends in Neurosciences, 2021 - cell.com
Half a century ago persistent spiking activity in the neocortex was discovered to be a neural
substrate of working memory. Since then scientists have sought to understand this core …

Shared mechanisms underlie the control of working memory and attention

MF Panichello, TJ Buschman - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

Causal role of cross-frequency coupling in distinct components of cognitive control

J Riddle, A McFerren, F Frohlich - Progress in Neurobiology, 2021 - Elsevier
Cognitive control is the capacity to guide motor and perceptual systems towards abstract
goals. High-frequency neural oscillations related to motor activity in the beta band (13− 30 …

[HTML][HTML] Linguistic processing of task-irrelevant speech at a cocktail party

P Har-shai Yahav, E Zion Golumbic - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Paying attention to one speaker in a noisy place can be extremely difficult, because to-be-
attended and task-irrelevant speech compete for processing resources. We tested whether …

Structure, function and connectivity fingerprints of the frontal eye field versus the inferior frontal junction: A comprehensive comparison

M Bedini, D Baldauf - European Journal of Neuroscience, 2021 - Wiley Online Library
The human prefrontal cortex contains two prominent areas, the frontal eye field and the
inferior frontal junction, that are crucially involved in the orchestrating functions of attention …

[HTML][HTML] EEG microstate features according to performance on a mental arithmetic task

K Kim, NT Duc, M Choi, B Lee - Scientific Reports, 2021 - nature.com
In this study, we hypothesized that task performance could be evaluated applying EEG
microstate to mental arithmetic task. This pilot study also aimed at evaluating the efficacy of …

Overlooked tertiary sulci serve as a meso-scale link between microstructural and functional properties of human lateral prefrontal cortex

JA Miller, WI Voorhies, DJ Lurie… - Journal of …, 2021 - Soc Neuroscience
