Studies in humans and non-human primates have provided evidence for storage of working
memory contents in multiple regions ranging from sensory to parietal and prefrontal cortex …

Working memory is widely considered to be limited in capacity, holding a fixed, small
number of items, such as Miller's' magical number'seven or Cowan's four. It has recently …

Working memory (WM) has limited capacity. This leaves attention with the important role of
allowing into storage only the most relevant information. It is increasingly evident that …

Consciousness never fades during waking. However, when awakened from sleep, we
sometimes recall dreams and sometimes recall no experiences. Traditionally, dreaming has …

The article introduces an interference model of working memory for information in a
continuous similarity space, such as the features of visual objects. The model incorporates …

Traversing sensory environments requires keeping relevant information in mind while
simultaneously processing new inputs. Visual information is kept in working memory via …

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 …

Neural oscillations at different frequencies have recently been related to a wide range of
basic and higher cognitive processes. One possible role of oscillatory activity is to assure the …

Brains systems undergo unique and specific dynamic changes at the cellular, circuit, and
systems level that underlie the transition to adult-level cognitive control. We integrate …

Early visual areas contain specific information about visual items maintained in working
memory, suggesting a role for early visual cortex in more complex cognitive functions [1–4] …
