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 …

Working memory, the ability to keep recently accessed information available for immediate
manipulation, has been proposed to rely on two mechanisms that appear difficult to …

Cognitive control guides behaviour by controlling what, when, and how information is
represented in the brain. For example, attention controls sensory processing; top-down …

Recently it has been proposed that information in working memory (WM) may not always be
stored in persistent neuronal activity but can be maintained in 'activity-silent'hidden states …

Items held in working memory can be either attended or not, depending on their current
behavioral relevance. It has been suggested that unattended contents might be solely …

From the conception of Baddeley's visuospatial sketchpad, visual working memory and
visual attention have been closely linked concepts. An attractive model has advocated unity …

The ability to sustain internal representations of the sensory environment beyond immediate
perception is a fundamental requirement of cognitive processing. In recent years, debates …

What happens to goal‐relevant information in working memory after it is no longer needed?
Here, we review evidence for a selective removal process that operates on outdated …

Persistently active neurons during mnemonic periods have been regarded as the
mechanism underlying working memory maintenance. Alternatively, neuronal networks …

Working memory (WM) is a fundamental aspect of cognition. WM maintenance is classically
thought to rely on stable patterns of neural activities. However, recent evidence shows that …
