Invasive and non-invasive brain stimulation methods are widely used in neuroscience to
establish causal relationships between distinct brain regions and the sensory, cognitive and …

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 …

It is widely assumed that the short-term retention of information is accomplished via
maintenance of an active neural trace. However, we demonstrate that memory can be …

Cognitive neuroscience research on working memory has been largely motivated by a
standard model that arose from the melding of psychological theory with neuroscience data …

Anecdotes from creative eminences suggest that executive control plays an important role in
creativity, but scientific evidence is sparse. Invoking the Dual Pathway to Creativity Model …

The past 10 years have brought near-revolutionary changes in psychological theories about
short-term memory, with similarly great advances in the neurosciences. Here, we critically …

Early studies of memory-impaired patients with medial temporal lobe (MTL) damage led to
the view that the hippocampus and related MTL structures are involved in the formation of …

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 …

We use behavioral methods, magnetoencephalography, and functional MRI to investigate
how human listeners discover temporal patterns and statistical regularities in complex sound …

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