Working Memory 2.0

EK Miller, M Lundqvist, AM Bastos - Neuron, 2018 - cell.com
Working memory is the fundamental function by which we break free from reflexive input-
output reactions to gain control over our own thoughts. It has two types of mechanisms …

Rhythms for cognition: communication through coherence

P Fries - Neuron, 2015 - cell.com
I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

[HTML][HTML] Gamma and beta bursts underlie working memory

M Lundqvist, J Rose, P Herman, SL Brincat… - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
Working memory is thought to result from sustained neuron spiking. However, computational
models suggest complex dynamics with discrete oscillatory bursts. We analyzed local field …

Beyond the status quo: a role for beta oscillations in endogenous content (re) activation

B Spitzer, S Haegens - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
Among the rhythms of the brain, oscillations in the beta frequency range (∼ 13–30 Hz) have
been considered the most enigmatic. Traditionally associated with sensorimotor functions …

EEG power spectral measures of cognitive workload: A meta‐analysis

S Chikhi, N Matton, S Blanchet - Psychophysiology, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Cognitive workload (CWL) is a fundamental concept in the assessment and monitoring of
human performance during cognitive tasks. Numerous studies have attempted to objectively …

Cytoelectric coupling: Electric fields sculpt neural activity and “tune” the brain's infrastructure

DA Pinotsis, G Fridman, EK Miller - Progress in Neurobiology, 2023 - Elsevier
We propose and present converging evidence for the Cytoelectric Coupling Hypothesis:
Electric fields generated by neurons are causal down to the level of the cytoskeleton. This …

Restoring latent visual working memory representations in human cortex

TC Sprague, EF Ester, JT Serences - Neuron, 2016 - cell.com
Working memory (WM) enables the storage and manipulation of limited amounts of
information over short periods. Prominent models posit that increasing the number of …

Communication between brain areas based on nested oscillations

M Bonnefond, S Kastner, O Jensen - eneuro, 2017 - eneuro.org
Unraveling how brain regions communicate is crucial for understanding how the brain
processes external and internal information. Neuronal oscillations within and across brain …

Behavior needs neural variability

L Waschke, NA Kloosterman, J Obleser, DD Garrett - Neuron, 2021 - cell.com
Human and non-human animal behavior is highly malleable and adapts successfully to
internal and external demands. Such behavioral success stands in striking contrast to the …

[HTML][HTML] A recruitment through coherence theory of working memory

P Comeaux, K Clark, B Noudoost - Progress in Neurobiology, 2023 - Elsevier
The interactions between prefrontal cortex and other areas during working memory have
been studied for decades. Here we outline a conceptual framework describing interactions …
