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 …

Recent human fMRI pattern-decoding studies have highlighted the involvement of sensory
areas in visual working memory (VWM) tasks and argue for a sensory account of VWM …

A central challenge for cognitive and systems neuroscience is to relate the incredibly
complex behavior of animals to the equally complex activity of their brains. Recently …

The prefrontal cortex maintains working memory information in the presence of distracting
stimuli. It has long been thought that sustained activity in individual neurons or groups of …

The capacity to briefly memorize fleeting sensory information supports visual search and
behavioral interactions with relevant stimuli in the environment. Traditionally, studies …

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

Although the contents of working memory can be decoded from visual cortex activity, these
representations may play a limited role if they are not robust to distraction. We used model …

Working memory (WM) is the ability to remember and manipulate information for short time
intervals. Recent studies have proposed that sustained firing encoding the contents of WM is …

Working memory (WM) and decision-making (DM) are fundamental cognitive functions
involving a distributed interacting network of brain areas, with the posterior parietal cortex …

Competing accounts propose that working memory (WM) is subserved either by persistent
activity in single neurons or by dynamic (time-varying) activity across a neural population …
