Radical flexibility of neural representation in frontoparietal cortex and the challenge of linking it to behaviour

Y Zheng, R Lu, A Woolgar - Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences, 2024 - Elsevier
While many brain networks are specialised for processing specific types of information, a
network of frontoparietal regions is engaged by a wide range of cognitive demands. Here …

Task structure tailors the geometry of neural representations in human lateral prefrontal cortex

A Bhandari, H Keglovits, D Badre - bioRxiv, 2024 - pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
How do human brains represent tasks of varying structure? The lateral prefrontal cortex
(lPFC) flexibly represents task information. However, principles that shape lPFC …

Spatial and feature-selective attention interact to drive selective coding in frontoparietal cortex

N Dermody, R Lorenz, E Goddard, A Villringer… - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
Attention enables the selective processing of relevant information. Two types of selective
attention, spatial and feature attention, have separable neural effects but in real life are often …

The Role of the Multiple-Demand System in Fluid Intelligence and Selective Attention: Insights from Lesion and Neuroimaging Studies

NC Dermody - 2024 - repository.cam.ac.uk
Our ability to flexibly and rapidly coordinate our thoughts and actions in line with our goals is
a defining feature of human cognition. A prominent proposal posits the multiple-demand …
