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…
Spatial attention: revisiting the invisible gorilla
Anyone who has sat through an Intro to Psychology course has probably seen the infamous “invisible gorilla” video. You know, the video where you are so busy counting basketball passes between a…
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,…
