Working memory is characterized by neural activity that persists during the retention interval
of delay tasks. Despite the ubiquity of this delay activity across tasks, species and …

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 …

Cognition depends on integrating sensory percepts with the memory of recent stimuli.
However, the distributed nature of neural coding can lead to interference between sensory …

Working memory involves the short-term maintenance of information and is critical in many
tasks. The neural circuit dynamics underlying working memory remain poorly understood …

Cortical neurons emit seemingly erratic trains of action potentials or “spikes,” and neural
network dynamics emerge from the coordinated spiking activity within neural circuits. These …

Working memory (WM) is a fundamental aspect of cognition. WM maintenance is classically
thought to rely on stable patterns of neural activities. However, recent evidence shows that …

Working memory (WM) is important to maintain information over short time periods to
provide some stability in a constantly changing environment. However, brain activity is …

Current knowledge regarding the processing of observed manipulative actions (OMAs)(eg,
grasping, dragging, or dropping) is limited to grasping and underlying neural circuitry …

The prefrontal cortex maintains information in memory through static or dynamic population
codes depending on task demands, but whether the population coding schemes used are …

Optimal decision-making requires that stimulus-value associations are kept up to date by
constantly comparing the expected value of a stimulus with its experienced outcome. To do …
