Neural coding of cognitive control: the representational similarity analysis approach
Cognitive control relies on distributed and potentially high-dimensional frontoparietal task
representations. Yet, the classical cognitive neuroscience approach in this domain has …

Side-by-side regions in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex estimated within the individual respond differentially to domain-specific and domain-flexible processes
LM DiNicola, W Sun… - Journal of …, 2023 - journals.physiology.org
A recurring debate concerns whether regions of primate prefrontal cortex (PFC) support
domain-flexible or domain-specific processes. Here we tested the hypothesis with functional …

Sulcal morphology of posteromedial cortex substantially differs between humans and chimpanzees
Recent studies identify a surprising coupling between evolutionarily new sulci and the
functional organization of human posteromedial cortex (PMC). Yet, no study has compared …

Presence or absence of a prefrontal sulcus is linked to reasoning performance during child development
The relationship between structural variability in late-developing association cortices like the
lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) and the development of higher-order cognitive skills is not …

Long-term learning transforms prefrontal cortex representations during working memory
The role of the lateral prefrontal cortex (lPFC) in working memory (WM) is debated. Non-
human primate (NHP) electrophysiology shows that the lPFC stores WM representations, but …
