Distinct contributions by frontal and parietal cortices support working memory
http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/01/31/104430 [PDF] Although subregions of frontal and parietal cortex both contribute and coordinate to support working memory (WM) functions, their distinct contributions remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate that perturbations to topographically organized…
Visual field map clusters in human frontoparietal cortex
http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2016/10/27/083493 [PDF] The visual neurosciences have made enormous progress in recent decades, in part because of the ability to drive visual areas by their sensory inputs, allowing researchers to reliably define visual…
Human parietal cortex lesions impact the precision of spatial working memory
http://jn.physiology.org/content/early/2016/06/10/jn.00380.2016 [PDF] The neural mechanisms that support working memory (WM) depend on persistent neural activity. Within topographically organized maps of space in dorsal parietal cortex, spatially selective neural activity persists during WM…
Human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex is not necessary for spatial working memory
[fusion_text] http://www.jneurosci.org/content/36/10/2847.short [PDF] A dominant theory, based on electrophysiological and lesion evidence from nonhuman primate studies, posits that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) stores and maintains working memory (WM) representations. Yet, neuroimaging…
