SfN 2016: Visual field maps constrain working memory precision
http://www.abstractsonline.com/pp8/index.html#!/4071/presentation/18729 Working memory (WM) suffers from severe capacity limitations that vary greatly both between individuals and across the lifespan. Recent psychophysical work suggests that WM is a finite resource, and that this…
CNS 2016: Disruption of delay-period activity in human frontal eye fields causes systematic impairments in spatial cognition
Persistent neural activity in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) has been implicated as the neural mechanism by which primates maintain information in working memory (WM) that is no longer readily observable in the…
SFN 2014: Visual field maps in human association cortices
Recently, topographic maps in human frontal and parietal cortex were discovered using modified versions of the standard traveling wave method for mapping early visual cortex. The standard traveling wave method is effective…
SFN 2014: Rethinking the contribution of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to spatial working memory
Working memory is one of the most fundamental building blocks of human cognition. It is an integral part of most mechanisms involved in higher-level cognitive function such as fluid intelligence, reading comprehension,…
